The Dagger Synthetic Brush XL (AKB013) is a unique tool from AK’s Effects & Details series, designed for modelers and miniature painters who want to create long, fluid brushstrokes and subtle color transitions. With its extra-long, blade-like tip, this brush provides maximum control over lines, blending techniques, and artistic effects.

Easily identifiable by the gray tip on the handle, this brush allows you to quickly find the right tool in your collection. The high-quality synthetic bristles ensure excellent paint absorption and controlled release, making it easy to apply both precise and dynamic strokes with minimal effort.

The Dagger Synthetic Brush XL is perfect for painting long, elegant lines on vehicles, figures, and dioramas. Thanks to its angled shape and extended tip, you can achieve smooth transitions between colors, making this brush ideal for techniques such as edge highlighting, layering, and freehand detailing. It allows for a seamless shift from thin to broad strokes in a single motion, making it easy to create realistic light and shadow effects.

Beyond precise detailing, this brush can also be used for broader strokes and dynamic effects, such as painting hair strands on figures, flowing patterns on clothing, or airflow streaks on sci-fi and fantasy models. By applying light pressure, you can achieve delicate lines, while heavier pressure produces broader strokes.

Designed for use with both acrylic and enamel paints, the brush maintains its shape over time thanks to its durable synthetic fibers, even with frequent use and cleaning. Whether you’re a beginner exploring new techniques or an experienced modeler looking for extra control in advanced painting methods, the Dagger Synthetic Brush XL is a powerful addition to your painting toolkit.
