German dot camo schemes just got way easier!

[@wwiiinplastic4712]

And Luftwaffe night fighters.

[@markn.3813]

I bought the complete set of 34 colors direct from AK and they are awesome. Very pleasantly surprised. Thank you AK Interactive.

[@Allessio777]

The problem I have with these kind of markers is DRYING OUT long before I can use them! So, very short useful life. I wonder it they have figured out a way around this issue!

[@RCUKScaleModels]

can't wait to get some myself I've got them on order but I've been using Posca Paint Marker for years and they are nice touch too

[@pinchageek]

I got mine last week direct from Spain, they are the best paint markers I have used. The paint flows free and easy with no streaking. This is 3Gen AK paints and they dry level. A great review Andy and a product I am already enjoying.

[@rheidtech]

Wow love paint markers. 👍👍

[@billyray94]

I'll definitely order a set... I'm really impressed with your review. My only concern would be the storage / shelf life - should I go to use them a year from now.

[@user-nr5oy1ke1h]

Nice review - I just bought the set of 34 from Jadlam in the UK, can't wait for them to arrive

[@WelderART]

i got it too :) they are wery good , defiantly in painting sharp camo

[@ljscalemodels526]

Great video Andy cheers Liam

[@LesWalker2023]

I could make darn good use of these! Great new product from what I can see!

[@chrisnichols4962]

Looking forward to seeing you at the Nats, Andy. 👍

[@tim_ten_]

I ordered the full set as soon as I saw them. Having watched your video I am very happy. I wonder how they will be for canopies.

[@burntbybrighteyes]

I think these might come in really handy for doing very fine camo patterns. Maybe you could use them to do the outlines of your pattern and fill in the middle with an airbrush, should the color be consistant with the regular colors from the bottle.

[@danmeehan1390]

Hey Andy, that was good. I must ask, do you intend to populate your Canadian site with what you provide at home? I would also strongly suggest that you put some Maple Leafs on your Canadian website so it is easily discernable from your US website. Call us crazy but, as a veteran, I like to see the Maple Leaf

[@scottbuildsthemall5124]

I can already feel my wallet getting lighter.

[@charleshenderson9578]

The cost so i want brake the bank. Lol😂

[@PitstainHobbies]

These markers are great I just reviewed them on my channel, very handy set of paint markers!

[@iainreid9822]

Cheers Andy. I've ordered two sets, Tools and Weapons, and feel confident having watched your video. A set of three cost £6.95.

[@EMTBAFV]

I got mine yesterday so testing them over weekend i was 65 for the full 34 set

[@robertdonofrio534]

Hi Andy, these look great. Do the colors match the same color in their paints, thanks

[@DASCDUDE]

Very useful

[@canuck64]

My concerns are that you can't see how much paint is in those pens and if they have a good shelf life and it's very expensive. $104 for a box of 34 pens. Other than that, love these a lot.

[@ypehille]

I've bought the box from AK directly and my first inmpressions are great. If this stays this way in easy use i am a happy man, but am i becoming a lazy builder ;-)

[@scottmccloud9029]

That gunmetal looks silver. Not at all like the gunmetal I'm use to.

[@rodneyanddawnletstalk7852]

I have the same question

[@mikec2810]

Just wondering if you think they will be good for 1/35 scale? Looks like they get into the small details on 1/16 scale nicely!

[@mrflapjacklover]

my friend thought these were good for warhammer, he doesnt have much space to do modeling and theses dont require setup and cleanup, so it'd be nice to get some more fantasy colours i think

[@williamcruz1665]

Hello Andy. Looking forward to see you again at the Nationals. Quick question. It has nothing to do with the video but are you planning and I know it’s a bit early to produce an M-113A2 or make after market parts to convert it?

[@davesplasticmodelreviewsan8033]

Prop tips and bomb stripes with the yellow. Curious on cost and shelf life

[@FinsburyPhil]

Might be able to do a whole small aircraft in <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="74">1:14</a>4? I'd like to see a fine point set (like a 0.25mm ink fine liner) - I've just tried these markers and it's quite difficult to get the very smallest of scratches and chipping with that tip. Overall, they are really excellent though.

[@nickclaydon2488]

Will they be any good for 1/35 though, those tips look HUGE.

[@voodoonights1671]

I'm gonna get me some to put with the Posca ones I forget I own 😢.

[@edwinchampeau8685]

Awesome that there is now a Canadian store, may I ask where it is?

[@Rpantherluzero]

Look great, what is the cost

[@spamburger222]

I think this is a game changer. No mess, saves time. What was the rrp i must of missed that.

[@southpaw5483]

May these be applied without the need of a PRIMER?

[@Bloody1369]

Are you going to have the 34 marker set in the Glendale store? I was looking at it on the AK website. It looks like a thorough line.

[@ilikesandwiches292]

Seem Groundbreaking

[@donfrandsen7778]

Hey those would be handy !!! I wonder how they apply on primed surfaces? Lookin Good Andy !!

[@stephenashley8431]

Hi Andy , Question ! Have you heard anything about anyone retoolingbtheir 1/72 scale A-10 ?? I am really itching to build one that actually has some riveting ON IT 😁😁

[@user-vg6ux1xp3h]

Could this be the future of modelling? If all the colours of AK, Ammo, Lifecolor and Valejo were available; why use brushes?

[@powersmodelgarage]

Want!!

[@ypehille]

they are looking great but..... if you don't use them for a period of time, won't the get un-usable (drying out don't no how to describe this in English )

[@shanevanorder2644]

I want some

[@joker120007]

wonder how much they cost

[@mihauadam5760]

It's less than 2€ in Europe (1,95), so it should be about 2.20$ in the US.

[@thekinksfan5102]

Michigan Toy Soldier has them for $3,99. Sets for $11,99.

[@joker120007]

[@poindxtr2000]

Ak has a 34 set for about 60.00

[@gweasel7270]

Hi Andy. Can you tell me why I can't reach tamiya usa ? the site wont answer, and I can't find any information as to why. Please answer if you know anything about this. Thanks.

[@cnhnx]

I don't know if paint marker specially made for hobby purpose existed before Gundam Marker but I know Gundam Marker (by GSI Creos/Mr Hobby) has been around for a very long time. I think I bought mine in mid 2000s. More brands are making paint marker now but for gunpla builders they're nothing new.

[@DarylSmith-zp9st]

I hope to see them here at the hobby shop I go to here in Australia

[@2adbty444]

Another great demo

[@rickgregory9616]

Game Changer! Definitely on my next AHHQ Order!

[@jimhantsch]

I'm getting me some!

[@maevethefox5912]

Canada store! So excited, thanks for setting it up Andy!

[@the-creech4790]

Posco pens...

[@tpbbuzzelli1327]

Looking forward to getting a set 😊

[@David-on7co]

Be great for 1/35 figure painting! Hope to see some flesh colors

[@merlinharley77]

Way too big for a 1/35 figure.

[@davefox8539]

I wonder if they will do railroad colors.

[@travis_thompson]

I currently use posca pens for cockpit details, these look perfect for other touch ups.

[@Picture_Purrfect]

Crayola memes *intensify*.

[@jamescharlton924]

Wood looks very yellow in coulour

[@scaleartsg]

this is a game changer! cant wait for this to be in the market

[@keithTCU]

Ok I'm in . . . I see them as making stowage painting much easier.

[@normandixon4571]

figures come to mind no more big pop out eyes hmmmm

[@quixoticjedi942]

I can see these as a game changer when painting the worn parts of steel road wheels and track wear.

[@TheTermigrot]

Could be good for 15, 20 & 28mm gaming models. easy camouflage

[@KevinAgustino]

Life saver when you need to freehand markings on a vehicle!

[@21EpicFail]

Is this why they redid the entire Real Color range? I am SO bummed about that. I loved the jars and colors. How am I suppose to pour excess airbrush paint back into an eyedropper bottle? Annoying!

[@wwiiinplastic4712]

Save and clean your old bottles to hold your leftover paints; they'll be ready to go for next time and won't have to be re-thinned. Also, adding thinned paint back to non-thinned paint can have unwanted effects on your paints.

[@randomnickify]

Just dump the drop of paint directly into your airbrush when you need it. You don't have to put paint back if you use all of it. In time you will figure out how many drops you need to cover the entire element. If you need to thin your paints, just buy an empty eyedropper bottle, fill it with a thiner, and mix the paint directly in your airbrush cup. Once you figure it out you will end up losing less paint than with jars.

[@donfrandsen7778]

Right on Andy.....panel liner demo too!!
