What is a sable brush?
Sable brushes are made from natural fibre, namely hair.
This makes them soft to the touch and will apply the paint very smoothly, compared to nylon brushes which is a man-made fibre and has a more rigid feel to it and on applying paint it is rougher.
Most modellers will have a selection of both brushes for different jobs.
