Mr.Hobby GM404 - Gundam Real Touch Marker Red 1

Hobby marker with waterbased paint GM404 Real Touch Marker Red 1 - .

Real Touch markers are used for making weathering and wear effects - mostly on Gundam plastic kits

marker is filled with a waterbased acrylic paint that won't react with painted surface. Best results are achieved on a matt surface e.g. painted using Mr.Super Clear Matt or Mr.Topcoat Matt. Use the marker to make a rough outline of the effect and then feather and blend it with model's surface using GM400 Real Touch Grading Marker. Finally we can use a cotton bud to dry the surface and make final adjustments to the effect we wanted.

Each marker has two tips - thicker and thinner, so we can choose proper one for the effect and area we want to paint it on.

Mr.Hobby hobby marker line is made for accenting and painting model kits of mecha from a popular Japanese Gundam series, however they will find their use in building other model kits.

Markers are divided into several subgroups, which makes finding a proper marker for the task easy. All markers are filled with an ink or paint with a water or alcohol base which provides optimal adhesion even to unpainted plastic and is easy to remove in case of a mistake.

Paint markers are a convenient supplement to a modeller's workshop.

Great for small touch ups, quick repairs and easy accenting small, colourful details like levers, knobs, buttons etc. Marker precision depends on its tip and it's worth checking out before buying. There are also special markers for accenting panel lines which feature very thin and precise tips. Markers can be filled with enamel paint (like e.g. Tamiya products) or alcohol based acrylic paint. Special markers with a mirror like effect chrome paint are also available. Markers won't replace or substitute traditional paints or airbrush, but will be a great help for small and quick tasks where we won't need to engage our whole painting station to add colout to few small details.
