Mr. Hobby GSI Creos Gundam Marker EX White Gold XGM07 and Yellow Gold XGM08 With Original Stylus Ballpoint Touch Pen

The Yellow Gold EX Gundam Marker is perfect for the eyes, White Gold is decent for enhancing of some mechanical details.

Markers came sealed and in good condition

Theyre better than the gold you get in the metallic pack, which ends up being like a matte gold, these retain a slightly more glossy finish, nowhere near the plated silver though, that chrome finish is in a league of its own and I am a little disappointed these arent at the same level. They initially look glittery when first applied but dry to a more solid look, and you can touch it once it's fully dry, but I'd still recommend wearing gloves the whole time you work on kits. The yellow gold seems to have an orange clear paint in it to give it the darker hue, this paint raises to the surface and settles in panel lines which effectively does the panel lining for you, but may bother some people, I did a test and you can remove this layer with a q-tip and rubbing alcohol, used very lightly, but it's really hard to get out of panel lines without removing the gold and at that point you might as well have just used the white gold to begin with. They are an improvement but not mind blowing like the plated silver (that you can not touch whatsoever).

Love these paint markers for fine detailing, but didn't receive the the custom ball point pen that is listed in the description

The color and shine are really nice. I wish they included in the description that the ink isn't compatible with ABS. Some parts of gunpla are ABS and minipla are usually 100% ABS. Destroyed the joints of some minipla I have. I also find that with the gold ones only dye comes out for way too long without the metallic part of the paint. I feel like I have to waste a lot.
