Tips please on best ways to dust display models, thanks.
 
I use a cheap 'fan' shaped brush, which is flat/soft for my airplane models.

Others (Kacitgirl?) have mentioned makeup brushes, which you'll find in all shapes and sizes at any women-friendly store.

Probably the safest for delicate models is low presure air from an airbrush.

Thanks for that, I thought soft brushes could be the answer. 🙂
 
Been using makeup brushes for years.
I agree, if the weather is permitting I take them out on the deck to dust them off but in winter I hover the vacuum
carefully over head to catch the dust so it does not go about the house.
Be careful though and check with a tweezers for anything that may have come loose or you might hear that dreaded
sound of something lost in the abyss of vacuum bag hell.:oops:

I've got a Miele vacuum that's very powerful and lifts the carpet off the floor !! 😮
So maybe I'll just try the Dustbuster .
