Might have to look for one or two.

They are not exactly cheap, but as Jon said, they are easier to clean than normal files.
Oh yes, I use an old toothbrush under the tap and it comes up like brand new every time. 

Also, for small parts I lay it on the table and gently drag them across, makes it easy to get nice flat surface planes. It's how I did the wing joints on the Thin Wing Javelin.

I have managed to make some progress with this build. PSR has been performed on the wing/engine assembly and the fuselage assembly. The latter required more putty, and the lead I put in the nose rattled a bit when I was handling the fuselage. This was cured by stuffing some Plastacine in through where the wings attach and into the nose area. As I was quite happy with the wing/engine assembly, it has been given a scrub under a warm tap with an old toothbrush and is now drying. I should be able to give it a coat of primer tomorrow, the fuselage will get a coat of primer on Tuesday if everything goes well.
