[Milsurplus] paintbrushes

Gents:

     I visited Toronto, Canada this week on business and while downtown, I stopped in at a hobby shop.  I picked up a package of the neatest miniature paintbrushes I'd ever seen.  They are made by Microbrush International who  have a web site:  http://www.microbrush.com/hobby/products/microbrush/index.asp .   The package cost me $3 Canadian for ten of the superfine size.  The brush part of this size brush appears to be about 1-1/2 mm long and less than a mm in diameter.  The handles flex at the tip so you could bend it to get the paint, lubricant, etc. into tight spots.

     My thoughts are to use these brushes to apply white paint the the embossed letters and indicators on the control panels of my several PRC-10s that I've repainted and any other milrads I might come across in the future.  I had thought about using small artist's paintbrushes, but the tips are too large.  These might be just the ticket.  FWIW.
