SPECIAL BOX PLAYMARKERS (34 units)

What the pack offers

This is a special pack of modeling markers containing 34 pieces. A marker lays the paint down straight from the tip, so there is no thinning, no brush and no cleaning up afterwards; you put the cap back on and you are done. The range of shades, the list of them and the recommended use are stated by the manufacturer on the packaging.

What the markers are good for

For fine work where a brush would get in the way: picking out edges, emphasizing panel gaps and shadows, touching up chipped paint, and labels and markings on parts or on a base. They are useful outside modeling too, for labeling storage boxes and containers. A marker is not suitable for a large area; an airbrush or a wide brush is quicker there.

Usage tips

Markers filled with paint usually need the contents mixed and the paint drawn into the tip before first use; the manufacturer gives the procedure. Always test on a scrap part first, not straight on the model. The line holds better on a matte base than on a smooth gloss, so on a glossy surface it pays to spray a matte coat first. Let the layer dry thoroughly and do not go over it a second time while it is wet, or the line will smear. Wipe the tip clean after work and close the marker at once so that it does not dry out.

Who it is for

The set suits anyone who works on details and wants the paint at hand without setting out a palette, and also those who are just starting and do not yet want to invest in an airbrush. The package contains the markers listed; models, bottled paints and other tools are not included, unless stated otherwise.
