Paintbrushes with natural bristles are classic painting tools. In case of precise brushes for modelling the most important features of such tools are its softness, ability to store and release paint and the quality of the painting tip. Those requirements are best met by marten's hair and regarded as the best of the best are sable brushes. Natural paintbrushes can be used with any type of model paints and are resistand virtually all solvents used in the hobby. Their bristles do not tend to curl up as their synthetic counterparts. Good quality natural brushes are more expensive and will last much longer than synthetic, provided that they are properly cleaned and taken care of.

Synthetic bristles brushes are becoming increasingly popular among the modellers due to their very good quality and competitive price. Cheapest products available are well suited for the heaviest modelling works, while those more expensive that have Taklon or Toray fibres are on par with the natural kolinsky ones. Synthetic bristles are characterized by slower paint release, which improves control while painting, especially using thinned down acrylic paints. Although resistant to most hobby products and solvents, synthetic brushes have a tendency of their bristles to curl with time and use.

Since their appearance on the model making market acrylic paints have revolutionized the hobby. Most of them can be thinned using alcohol or water which eliminates use of harmful, strong smelling solvents. Thanks to this they can be used indoors and should not be troublesome for others. Additionally it solves the problem of having proper thinner or solvent at hand - water is always available and it can also be used for cleaning our tools and brushes after painting with acrylics. Acrylic paints are non toxic and can be used by children. Their properties allow them to be appliet both by brush and airbrush, though the latter requires some experience and getting to know the paints a little. Acrylic paints drying time is much shorter than enamels or oils which on the one hand gives a comfort of faster work on a particular model (enamels tend to dry for over 24 hours) but it also makes the pigment dry on the airbrushe's needle tip and it needs to be removed from time to time while painting. Acrylic paints with similar base (water or alcohol) can be freely mixed together, which giver virtually limitless possibilities of creating different hues, shades or altering the base colour.
