[MRCA] paintbrushes

[Richard Arland, W3OSS]

I just ordered some from the Internet Train Site. Thanks for the tip, Gene. 
Looks like I will have no excuse to put off relettering my PRC-10s, RT-70s, 
etc.

Thanks.

|     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.
