Tools and Materials

Tools and materials for modelbuilding

The ultrasonic cleaner is usefull for:

- removing paint from parts (of kit)

- cleaning the airbrush nozzle-assembly(in a small glass jar) (Not the complete airbrush!)

- mixing more colors of paint

I use a bio-degradeable detergent, whenever possible
