- In the Craft Cotton Swab range there are five kinds: two with round and with three triangular shaped tips.
- These are industrial strength cotton swabs, and compared with those found in supermarkets, they do not fray as easily when wet or dipped in solvents, resulting in less wastage.
- These swabs are great for applying decals and panel lining onto model surfaces.
- Creating fine details and weathering on small areas such as in Waterline series models becomes a breeze.
- You can also use the swabs effectively for applying any of the Weathering Master Set color schemes, such as realistic rust stains, to your model.

Tamiya makes different sized q-tips which are stiff so they are absorbent but won't reach into all areas like a normal q-tip. I use them regularly to clean up panel accent on features which don't have a defined or deep groove to protect the desired wash.

These work really well for that, be careful in the panel lines. I have found that the paint tends to be thinner in those area so the acetone will eat through the paint really quickly. I know you're across the pond but I'm pretty sure you can find these in your area.
