High quality acrylic marker for painting models

Markers have excellent adhesion to plastic, resin, metal and wooden surfaces. Resistant to water and heat. Can be applied in layers like any other model paint. They have a high degree of coverage and do not smear. You can use any weathering product on a marker-painted surface without worrying about damaging the paint. Ideal for applying base color to parts or whole models in small scales or for painting accessories in a convenient and precise way. The finish of the markers is matte, but some colors, due to the nature of the pigments, may be slightly satin. Regardless of the preferred finish, matte, satin or glossy, the markers can be covered with any type of varnish without fear of damaging the paint. The marker has a felt precise tip. A wetting and anti-clogging agent helps ensure smooth and precise strokes. The special felt tip should be used gently, without pressing too hard. When you want to paint larger areas, you can use the side of the tip to apply more paint and spread it faster.

RC markers are recommended for hobbyists who are just starting out and for any experienced modeler who wants to quickly paint details or apply base coats on small areas.

They are not a substitute for paint, as they do not allow for certain techniques. They are ideal for creating sharp camouflage patterns. For very vivid colors, such as reds, yellows, oranges, etc., it is recommended to paint with a white base coat first. Although this is not necessary, as with any type of paint, this technique will make these shades more vivid and saturated. This product is not recommended for painting the entire model. For large pieces, we recommend using an airbrush and regular paint. Markers are extremely useful for precise detail painting.

The most important questions about RC markers

• Can I paint a tank, an airplane or a whole model? - You can paint whatever you want. If it is a small scale kit, markers are very practical. For painting larger models, it is still better to use an airbrush for base layers.
• What is the capacity of the marker? - The durability of the paint in the marker is determined in meters, and in our case the inscription allows 60-70 meters.
• How to store the markers? - The paint properties of RC markers allow temperature differences from 50°C to -20°C without changing their properties, which is important when transporting markers by aircraft.
• Can I change the finish of the markers? After finishing, we can use any type of varnish to achieve the desired finish: matte, satin or glossy.
• Is it possible to apply several layers of paint? We can apply a second coat to cover more, almost immediately. Keep in mind that lighter colors may need more coats to cover, like any paint, especially if you paint without primer on dark bases. Typically, dark colors cover better on any type of paint or base.
• Can I paint over ink from markers? You can paint over what you have painted with markers without any problem and without worrying about removing the paint. This is very useful, especially when you want to create sharp-edged camouflage, mottled effects, etc.
