Marker set Gimmik AK Interactive RCM105 — Chipping (3) markers for scale modeling

RCM105 Chipping marker set by Gimmik (AK Interactive) includes three specially formulated Real Colors markers created for producing realistic chipping and paint-wear effects on scale models. These solvent-based markers are matched to AK Interactive weathering palettes to deliver consistent tones for exposed metal, worn edges and scratches. The markers are suitable for use on plastic, resin and previously painted surfaces, enabling controlled application for fine detail and surface distressing in model building and diorama work.

Advantages

The three-marker set provides a compact, easy-to-handle solution for adding chipping effects without the need for brushes or sprays. Solvent-based ink gives reliable adhesion to model paints and substrates commonly used in scale modeling. The color selection is coordinated with AK Interactive standards to help achieve uniform weathering across different techniques. Markers allow precise placement for edge wear, small scratches and localized paint removal while reducing setup and cleanup time compared with traditional methods.

Suitable for

• Creating edge wear and small scratches on model kits
• Simulating exposed metal and paint peels on vehicles and armor
• Detailing dioramas and miniature scenery with localized chipping
• Touching up or enhancing already painted surfaces

Key specifications

• Set composition: three solvent-based Real Colors markers
• Compatible surfaces: plastic, resin, and painted substrates
• Application: fine-line tip for precise chipping and scratch effects
• Finish: realistic exposed-metal and worn-paint appearance
• Packaging: compact marker set for easy storage and transport

How to use

Shake each marker before use and test on a scrap piece to evaluate tone and flow. Apply light strokes to edges, raised details or areas where paint would naturally wear, building up layers gradually until the desired effect is reached. For a more blended appearance, soften marker lines with a mild thinner or blending solution compatible with model paints, applied sparingly with a fine brush or cotton swab. Allow solvent markers to dry fully before sealing with a clear coat appropriate for your model finishes.

Usage recommendations

Work in a well-ventilated area and use protective gloves if needed; test marker compatibility with underlying paints and clear coats on an inconspicuous area prior to full application. Store markers capped and upright at room temperature to preserve tip condition and solvent performance.
