When I have to REALLY focus in on a fine detail, they could be better. The other day, I was painting the wheel on the Corsair. I was REALLY focused to keep the the flat black off of the aluminum hub. LOL To think when I was a kid and well into my 20s-30s, I would just put the wheel on a tooth pick, spin the tooth pick to paint the wheel, as I held it a good foot or two from me, with NO glasses and no problem at all.

I remember being a teenager and after I'd show off my work, people always asked. "HOW DO YOU EVEN SEE THAT??" I used to think.. How could I NOT see it?? LOL NOOOOOOOOW I know!! To think I used to even paint WATCHES on 1/48 ground crews.
