Marker set Gimmik AK Interactive RCM013 Chipping Color – weathering and paint-scratch effects

Gimmik AK Interactive Real Colors Markers RCM013 Chipping Color is a weathering marker formulated to reproduce paint chipping, scratches and worn-paint effects on scale models and hobby surfaces. Designed for precise detailing, the marker in this Chipping Color line allows controlled application on plastic, resin and previously painted surfaces to simulate realistic surface aging and damage.

Advantages

The Chipping Color marker delivers fine control for small-scale chipping and scratch effects without the need for complex tools. Its formulation is compatible with common model paints and clear coats, enabling layered weathering workflows. The marker tip provides consistent flow for accurate placement of streaks and chips, while the pigment and binder balance gives durable, visible results that blend well with subsequent washes and dry-brushing.

Suitable for

• Scale military and civilian vehicle models requiring realistic paint wear
• Aircraft, ships and diorama elements with chipped or abraded surfaces
• Plastic and resin miniatures where controlled scratch and chipping effects are needed
• Touch-ups and small repairs on painted hobby parts

Key specifications

• Product type: weathering/chipping marker for scale modelling
• Application surfaces: plastic, resin and previously painted finishes
• Effect: paint chipping, scratches and worn-paint appearance
• Delivery: marker tip designed for precise, controlled strokes
• Compatibility: suitable for use with model paints, clear coats and common weathering techniques

How to use

Shake the marker gently before use and test on a scrap surface to gauge flow and color intensity. Apply the marker directly to the model in small strokes or dots to imitate paint chips and scratches, varying pressure and angle for natural results. Allow the applied material to dry, then blend or tone it using thin washes, filters or light dry-brushing as required. For layered weathering, protect adjacent areas with masking or clear coats before further processing.

Usage recommendations

Use on cured paint layers and ensure compatibility with underlying finishes by testing on a hidden area. Work in thin layers and allow adequate drying time between operations. Clean the pen tip after use and store horizontally to maintain consistent flow.
