I find it very convenient to touch up with Testors or Tamiya enamel markers. But those markers don’t have a fine tip. Does an enamel marker with a fine tip exist?
I’m not sure. I did search high and low for them a while back. I couldn’t find any enamel. I was looking for white, in particular. How about cutting down the Testors or Tamiya tips to ‘fine’?
Does the Gundam marker use enamels?
I’ve found an answer. Sharpie oil-based fine markers. They are completely different from regular Sharpies and won’t bleed through a top coat just like oil paints.
I saw those just yesterday as well…

Those should work well!
Interesting. I wonder how those would work for eyeballs on 1/35 figures?
Those pens should work well for eyeballs and lips on 1/35 figures and tiny pieces on 1/35 armor and 1/48 aircraft. They are nothing but oil paints in a pen configuration.
Oh man! I am so buying a few of those!
Some Gundam Markers have fine tips and then some have extra fine (aka ball point size) My fiancé uses Gundam markers for her Gundams and I occasionally steal them for doing windows on my 1/700 scale ships, I recently bought some Sharpie oil based markers for deck lines that are fine point as well.
I have received Sharpie Oil-Based Markers. I love them! They make touch-ups and detail painting a BREEZE. The results are just like oil paints applied with a fine-tip brush.
Chrisk-K, Did you purchase them on-line or locally?
Got mine from Blick Art Supply on line
My local Michaels store has these. I have used them on models for touch up and they work well.
Michaels here didn’t have all the colors in the super fine tips.
Michael’s and their coupons are you friend. I always find useful stuff (wood bases, markers, wire types, etc). Markers of all types, also dont forget artist pencils.
