🎯 Why the Phoenix Plume series
Brushes and liner nibs wear out long before handles do. The Phoenix Plume idea is simple: keep the handle, replace the working end. When a brush point splits or a nib dulls, you swap in a fresh tip instead of throwing the whole tool away.
All three share the same design: a triangular handle that sits naturally in a pen grip and will not roll off the bench, a corrosion-resistant PP grip section that stands up to washes and thinners, and very low weight for long sessions.
They are DSPIAE's affordable way into interchangeable tools — a good starting point before you invest in aluminium-handled versions.
🖍️ PT-PL Panel Line Marker
Lining panels with a brush means constant judgement: too much wash and it floods across the panel, too little and the line is patchy. The PT-PL holds a small charge of wash in its stainless steel nib. Touch it to an engraved line and capillary action draws the wash along the groove, keeping it in the recess.
1. Dip the nib into your panel line wash, up to the marked level.
2. Wipe off the excess against the neck of the bottle.
3. Touch the nib to the start of a line with gentle pressure and let the wash run.
4. Clean up when dry with a cotton bud and a little thinner.
Replacement nib: DSPIAE PLN-01.
🖌️ PT-FB Fine Detailing Brush Handle
A handle for DSPIAE's FBT fine detailing tips, sold in packs of three in sizes 2/0, 3/0, 4/0 and 5/0. Use it for eyes, edge highlights, rivets, markings and the detail work that wears points out fastest.
Tips are not included — add a pack of FBT tips in the size you need.
🎨 PT-TB Broad Painting Brush Handle
A handle for DSPIAE's broad painting tips, sold in packs of three in four shapes:
✔ FBT-E01 — flat, type I
✔ FBT-E02 — flat, type II
✔ FBT-U01 — oval, type I (5.5 mm)
✔ FBT-U02 — oval, type II (smaller)
Flat tips for basecoats, straight edges and panels; oval tips for washes, glazes and blending over curved surfaces. Tips are not included — add the shape you need.
💡 Getting the best from them
1. Panel lining: gloss coat first. Wash flows cleanly along the line on a gloss surface; on matt paint it soaks in and stains.
2. Discharge static in winter. DSPIAE note that static can make liquid spit from the nib. Touch something metal before you start.
3. Careful with enamel thinner on bare plastic. On unpainted Gunpla, heavy enamel thinner on joints and clips can make the plastic brittle.
4. Brushes: keep paint out of the ferrule. Load the front two-thirds of the bristles only, and rinse often.
5. Check the tip sits straight. A crooked tip makes the brush twist in your fingers.
6. Clean and cap after use. Rinse nibs and tips in the right cleaner, wipe dry and store with the cap on.

⚖️ Worth knowing — honest limitations
PT-FB and PT-TB need tips. On their own they are handles. Budget for at least one tip pack.
Tips are not shared between the two brush handles. Fine FBT-2/0 to 5/0 tips go in the PT-FB; broad E and U tips go in the PT-TB.
PT-PL is a dip pen, not a filled marker. It needs your own wash and works along engraved lines, not on raised detail.
Lightweight plastic handles. Comfortable and light, but without the heft of DSPIAE's aluminium AT-PL PRO and AT-FB tools.
Nibs and tips are consumables. That is the point of the system — replace them, keep the handle. Not suitable for children under 14.
