Mr.Hobby GMS113 - Gundam Real Touch 2 Marker Set

Mr.Hobby GMS113 Model Marker Set – Gundam Real Touch 2

The Mr.Hobby GMS113 Real Touch 2 set is aimed at modelers who want to give their Gundam kits a more realistic appearance. These markers contain ink designed for subtle shading and blending, making it easy to add weathering, dirt, and natural tonal variations to your models. They are particularly useful for hobbyists interested in achieving convincing weathering effects and emphasizing small construction details.

Real Touch markers are double-ended, with a fine tip for precise work on small details and a broader tip for larger surfaces and smoother gradients. The semi-transparent ink allows for gradual layering and subtle effects. Any excess or mistakes can be easily removed with the GM300 eraser marker or a cotton swab dipped in alcohol.

The Mr.Hobby marker series

The Mr.Hobby marker series is primarily intended for painting and detailing mecha kits from the popular Japanese Gundam franchise, though they are also useful for other plastic models. Divided into sub-categories, the series makes it easy to choose the right marker for the task. Filled with either alcohol- or water-based paint, they adhere well to bare plastic but remain removable when corrections are necessary. They can be used for painting individual parts, panel lining, or even applying weathering effects.

The colors are carefully selected to remain faithful to Gundam kits and closely match the plastic tones used in Gunpla. They also correspond to the UG (Gundam Color) paint series.

Markers – a practical addition to the modeling toolkit

Painting markers are a practical addition to any modeler’s toolkit. They are great for small touch-ups, quick corrections, or adding fine colored accents such as levers and switches. The precision depends on the marker tip – from wide strokes to ultra-fine lines. Special panel lining markers with fine tips are also available. The ink can be enamel-based (like in some Tamiya products) or alcohol-based acrylics. Some markers even produce a mirror-like chrome finish. While they will not fully replace traditional paints or airbrushing, they are excellent for small, quick tasks where you need to highlight details without setting up a full painting station.

Why choose the GMS113 set?

The Real Touch 2 set is ideal for modelers who want an easy way to add shading and weathering to their Gundam builds. With double-ended markers and semi-transparent ink, you can achieve subtle and natural effects without advanced techniques or equipment. This makes the set perfect both for beginners seeking convenience and for experienced hobbyists aiming for more realism.
