AK9317 uses replaceable foam tips at 3 mm and 5 mm to control the application or removal of weathering products in confined areas. The angled working ends reach around restricted features and support small-scale clean-up without relying on a loose sponge. They can lift surplus panel-line wash, work selected patches of an effect or help position a decal. Changing between the two tip widths adjusts the contact area to suit the detail.
The set includes a metal handle.
Three foam tips of each size are supplied: three 3 mm and three 5 mm.
The tips are lint-free and reusable.
Dirty tips can be cleaned with universal thinner.

Notes · Q & A
Sprue cutters or a hobby knife — what do I actually need?+
Cutters remove parts from the sprue cleanly; the knife trims the leftover nub and mould lines. You'll want both — they do different jobs.
What's the difference between single-blade and double-blade cutters?+
Single-blade cutters shear against a flat anvil for an ultra-clean cut with less stress on the plastic; double-blade cutters are tougher for general work.
How do I keep tools in good condition?+
Cut plastic only (never metal sprues or wire) with precision cutters, replace knife blades often, and keep files clear with a brass brush.
