Vallejo Starter Brush Set B03990 – Sizes 3/0, 1 and 4 (Flat)

Vallejo Starter Brush Set

The Vallejo Starter Brush Set B03990 is a versatile selection designed to kickstart your toolkit or reinforce your day-to-day essentials for miniatures and scale modelling. It includes three synthetic brushes: two round brushes from the Precision series in sizes 3/0 and 1, and one flat size 4 from the Effects series—covering everything from fine details to controlled washes and weathering.

The Precision brushes feature an ergonomic triangular handle that improves grip and comfort during longer sessions, helping you keep a steady hand. Their selected synthetic fibres preserve a sharp tip and offer reliable paint retention without overloading—ideal for thin layers, lining, and micro-details without bleeding into adjacent areas.

Size 3/0 excels at eyes, filigree, stippling, and extra-fine freehand; size 1 balances precision and paint load for edge highlights, controlled accents, and short transitions. The flat size 4 (Effects) brush is great for washes, filters, blends, grime streaks, and glazing on small to medium surfaces, and it’s also handy for targeted varnish application.

Thanks to the combination of two precise round brushes and a flat effects brush, this set lets you move fluidly between ultra-fine lines and broader finishing techniques without constantly changing tools. You can switch from crisp edge work to light weathering or an overall wash quickly while maintaining consistency and control.

In terms of durability, the synthetic fibres handle frequent cleaning and regular use. With proper care—cleaning after each session and gently reforming the tip while it’s still damp—the brushes keep their point and performance for a long time.

If you’re new to the hobby or need a dependable trio for everyday tasks, the Vallejo Starter Brush Set B03990 is a safe bet: versatility, precision, and comfort in one pack. Pair it with other Vallejo brushes dedicated to basecoats or wider blends to build a balanced toolkit ready for any project.
