I love them. They work like I expected them, too.

Bought the set and so far I'm happy with results from them. Just have a good practice with them as regards width of colour before committing to a kit, they dry very quickly and very matt. My main use so far has been on figures and undercarriage which take much less time than usual, looking forward to a couple of Luftwaffe builds in the near future.

I use them; I like them. They do what I was looking for them to do. This is all that matters to me. Hopefully more military color selections forthcoming.

I think they would be great for some of those more difficult Luftwaffe winter camo schemes.

And WW2 Japanese camo schemes

Used a different brand on small items (e.g. shell, spade) & it works for me much better than brush painting or messing about with an airbrush. No brush marks as the area is smaller than the widest part of the soft top. I wouldn't use them on large flat area, but small area items they are brilliant.

Thinking the metallic's brush marks might be a useful method to get the look of heat affected metals.

The obvious missing colour for one of my projects in the stash is the green squiggles colour for the Italian ww2 Folgore. It would make that so much easier.

Thank you for sharing. May you recommend we use Primer before applying/using an Acrylic Paint Marker?

I remember Tamiya trying these out in the 80s, silver one was almost mirror like.

If I was a kid again with building 1/72 - 1/76 planes, tanks and figures, these would have been great. They are about 4AUD which is cheap to me. 126AUD for the set. I paid this for ICM's Marauder. I can see a use for them in cockpits/small items etc as you say. Or someone who had to travel domestically a lot for work could take a little modelling work box with these for down time. A travelling retiree perhaps or a modeller on an apartment in Hong Kong or New York. The average modeller being a pretty broad thing nowadays. Gunpla, Ma.K. , general Sci Fi, Anime, Cyberpunk, what ifs, etc. modelling is all over the shop, which is great. Variety is the spice of life. AK state that these are an adjunct to brushes as they are not suitable for blending techniques. And AK are a business. Innovation leads to profits and reinvestment. Purchase is a free choice. Thanks for the review. Fair and informative. Cheers 🦘🦘🦘

What's called the video review for the Posca pens, please?

The issue I have had with paint markers is that they dry up before I can fully use them. Given that they are expensive, that means low value for me. I have only tried one brand, however, so maybe the AK and Dspaie last longer.

I have a few of these and I'm really impressed with them they are great for doing small jobs on your model .🙂

I'm not convinced. As good in themselves as they may be, I am struggling to see a use for them. Is this another case of a manufacturer developing a solution for a problem that doesn't necessarily exist? Of course nobody is going to know yet, but to me they run the risk of being uneconomic, not least perhaps with the tip drying out or the paint setting in the barrel. The other issue that would concern me is that when blending colours you'd end up contaminating each of the markers you'd use, possibly rendering each useless?

I've bought several of these as either individual colors or ones packed as a set of three for a specific purpose (e.g. "Wheels", "Tools"). I recall don't see these as being useful for large scale painting. However, I think where these will shine is for small things like wheels, "Pioneer" tools, landing gear, wooden props, and for picking out cockpit color details such as dials and switches. Generally, think of things where you don't need a lot of paint and having to use and clean up brushes or airbrushes would be more involved. It's more a tool of convenience vs. a better replacement for brush or airbrush painting.
