    Hi! I looking to begin with Gunpla and has a few question. The kits I’m planing to get is the RG Zeta Gundam and Gundam Mk-II Titans (I haven’t done any plastic model kits before, but I’m pretty handy so I think I will be ok, Otherwise I like a challenge) and what I was wondering was which paint markers are the best for the RG kits? I don’t have easy access for spray paint nor the time (yay for being a university student!) so I’ll have to use paint markers for clean-up.

      Hi, nice choice of kits to begin with. 🙂 you can use Gundam Markers to cover up those nub marks. Commonly used are the Blue, Red, White, and Yellow paint color. You can also use Gundam Real Touch Markers, although this type has ink. RG kits mainly have different shades of Blue, Red and white so you may want to mix some color to blend it to the color of the parts. The Mk-II in the other hand have a unique color so you may have to search for the right color for the job. Goodluck to your first build and enjoy! 🙂

      RG’s actually look really good even unpainted but if you are gonna paint with markers I’d go with Gundam Real Touch as well it is after all for gundam already, but more than that I’d recommend a panel line marker. generally they go on too thick but you can wipe them down a bit to thin out the lines and bring out a lot of detail.

      since you’re a beginner I don’t know if you know about this but what you do with that is just get ink into all those recessed lines and pits to make them stand out.
