Paintbrushes for Modellers & Miniature Painters
Hawk Miniatures makes paintbrushes for modellers who care about the finish — from premium natural Kolinsky sable brushes to affordable synthetic ranges, all suited to oils, acrylics and enamels. Whether you’re lining a uniform, blending a bust or basecoating a gaming army, there’s a brush and a size for the job.
Kolinsky sable brushes
Our natural sable lines give you a fine point, a full belly and reliable spring: choose round brushes for detail and basecoating, flat brushes for broad, even coverage, or angled liner brushes for precise linework. Available singly and in curated sets.
Gaming, micro & dry brushes
For wargamers and hobbyists, we offer gaming & micro brushes with polished walnut handles and a sable/synthetic blend, plus dedicated dry brushes for texture and highlighting.
Synthetic Vernissage range
Prefer synthetic? The Vernissage line offers Kolinsky-imitation filament brushes with excellent colour hold at a budget-friendly price.

Angular Liner Kolinsky Sable Brushes for Miniatures
The specialist that earns its place: our angular liner Kolinsky sable paintbrushes have an angled chisel tip that gives you controlled straight lines, clean edges and easy access into recesses and along panel lines. It’s the brush for freehand borders, straps, piping and any job where a steady, precise stroke matters.
Available in sizes 0, 1, 2 and 4, in natural Kolinsky sable. Suitable for oils, acrylics and enamels, and designed for modellers by modellers.
Which size?
Size 0 is for the finest angled lines and edges; 1 and 2 are the general-purpose angular liners; 4 lays down broader angled strokes. Prefer a set? See the mixed angular sable set, browse all our angled & liner brushes, or explore the full Hawk paintbrush range.

Flat Kolinsky Sable Brushes for Miniatures
For crisp edges and controlled coverage: our flat Kolinsky sable paintbrushes give you a sharp chisel edge that’s perfect for edge highlighting, blending across larger surfaces and blocking in clean, straight strokes. Natural Kolinsky sable keeps a tidy edge while carrying plenty of paint, so armour plates, blades, panels and cloth come up smoothly.
Pick your size from 00, 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4. Suitable for oils, acrylics and enamels, and designed for modellers by modellers.
Which size?
The 00 and 0 flats are for fine edge highlights and small crisp lines; 1 and 2 for edge-lighting armour and weapons; 3 and 4 for base coating and blending broader areas. Want the whole ladder at once? See the 6-flat sable set, browse all our flat sable brushes, or pair them with our round brushes from the full Hawk paintbrush range.
