Medium is the broadest triangular tip Tamiya produces, giving 87107 the most contact area within the pointed range. That wider face suits passes across open panels, broader wash application and blending work where a smaller tip would leave visible stroke marks. The cotton is wound to the same standard as the rest of the range: firm enough to maintain its triangular shape under pressure, absorbent enough to carry fluid evenly. Fifty swabs per pack.
Triangular tip in Medium, the widest of the three triangular options.
The cotton is resistant to fraying and retains liquid across the tip.
Appropriate for weathering sweeps, panel washes and broad surface clean-up.

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.
