Marker pens Gimmik AK Interactive Real Colors RCM010 Aluminium — paint markers for scale models

Gimmik AK Interactive Real Colors RCM010 Aluminium paint marker is a compact and precise tool created for modelers and hobbyists. Designed to deliver an aluminium-coloured pigment, this marker from the Real Colors line enables controlled application of metallic tones for detailing, panel highlights and weathering effects on scale models, miniatures and craft projects. The marker ink bonds to common modelling materials such as plastic, resin and metal, allowing quick touch-ups and accurate strokes without the need for brushes or airbrushing.

Advantages

The marker offers a fine, controlled tip for accurate lines and highlights, reducing the risk of overspray or brush marks. Its aluminium pigment provides consistent metallic coverage with good opacity for small-scale detailing. The convenient pen format ensures portability and immediate use, while the solvent-based formulation dries relatively fast to speed up workflow. The marker is compatible with typical model surfaces and is suitable for both single-stroke accents and layered effects when used carefully.

Suitable for

• Adding metallic highlights and panel lines on aircraft, vehicles and military models
• Detailing miniatures, figures and diorama elements
• Quick touch-ups on painted plastic, resin and metal parts
• Craft projects requiring aluminium-coloured accents

How to use

Shake the marker well before use to ensure even pigment distribution. Test the marker on a scrap piece or hidden area to check flow and opacity. Apply with light, controlled strokes to create highlights, panel lines or small patches; allow each layer to dry before applying additional passes to avoid pooling. For best adhesion on glossy surfaces, lightly scuff or use a suitable primer before applying the marker. Cap the marker after use to prevent drying.

Usage recommendations

Work in a well-ventilated area and avoid inhaling fumes from solvent-based ink. Store the marker horizontally to maintain tip saturation and keep it capped when not in use. When blending or softening edges, consider using compatible thinners or solvents sparingly and test on a sample to confirm compatibility with existing paints and finishes.
