Three sub-ranges cover the hobby's practical needs, with standard mecha colors, metallic shades, and bright fluorescents on one shared platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeginners reach for these because a slip doesn't ruin a kit. Experienced builders keep them on the bench because inking a panel with a marker is faster than thinning, brushing, and cleaning up after bottle acrylics for small work. At the price per marker, building the full color library is realistic on a hobby budget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e🎨 Color Range Reference\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMK Standard Colors (12):\u003c\/strong\u003e MK-01 Black, MK-02 White, MK-03 Grey, MK-04 Red, MK-05 Blue, MK-06 Green, MK-07 Yellow, MK-08 Mecha Grey, MK-09 Purple, MK-10 Pink, MK-11 Sky Blue, MK-12 Armored Green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMKM Metallic Colors (8):\u003c\/strong\u003e MKM-01 Metallic Black, MKM-02 Metallic Silver, MKM-03 Metallic Red, MKM-04 Metallic Blue, MKM-05 Metallic Green, MKM-06 Metallic Gold, MKM-07 Metallic Grey, MKM-08 Metallic Purple. Buyer's note: MKM-06 runs warmer and more orange than a traditional yellow gold, closer to brass or antique gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMKF Fluorescent Colors (5):\u003c\/strong\u003e MKF-01 Fluorescent Green, MKF-02 Fluorescent Red, MKF-03 Fluorescent Yellow, MKF-06 Fluorescent Orange, MKF-07 Fluorescent Pink. Fluorescents show most vivid over a white or light grey base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e💡 How to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShake the marker firmly before first use and press the tip down on scrap paper to prime the flow. Bare Bandai plastic is glossy, so hit the panel with 1000-grit sandpaper or a primer coat first and the paint will grip instead of beading. Lay color in long strokes in one direction; crossing back over half-dried paint lifts it and leaves streaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCap the marker the moment you set it down, and if a tip dries out between sessions, a brief dip in isopropyl alcohol revives it as long as the reservoir has paint. When the build is done, seal your work with a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/happibee.com\/products\/ak-interactive-3g-acrylic-varnish-100ml\"\u003ematte, satin, or gloss top coat\u003c\/a\u003e; unsealed MK paint stays alcohol-soluble even after it cures, which is great for corrections and bad for handling wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e❓ Frequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do these compare to Gundam Markers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDifferent chemistry, different temperament. Classic Gundam Markers are alcohol-based, which dries fast but commits fast. The MK line is water-based, so it stays correctable, barely smells, and cleans up with alcohol instead of being made of it. Builders who found alcohol markers unforgiving tend to stay with water-based once they switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between MKM metallics and the Super Metallic lines?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMKM shades are the metallic colors within this water-based system, made for layering with the rest of the MK range. DSPIAE's separate MKA and MKS Super Metallic markers use different fast-dry formulas built for maximum shine, with the MKS chrome tier the most mirror-like. Pick MKM for integrated workflow, Super Metallic for the brightest possible finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill they work on Warhammer miniatures?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, over primer. The sponge tip suits edge highlights, trim, and panel accents on vehicles and armor. For layering and blending across organic shapes, brushes still rule; these are the speed tool for hard-edged detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo light colors cover in one pass?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOver dark plastic, plan on two. Water-based whites and yellows trade opacity for their correctability, so a second pass after the first sets is the normal workflow, not a defect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e📐 Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e DSPIAE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Line:\u003c\/strong\u003e MK Water-Based Soft-Tip Markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormula:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water-based acrylic, low odor, no harsh solvents\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Absorbent sponge applicator\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 colors across MK, MKM, and MKF sub-ranges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorrection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab (unsealed paint)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Surfaces:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hobby plastic (HIPS, ABS, PE), resin, primed metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurface Prep:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1000-grit sanding or primer recommended on glossy plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSealing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Top coat recommended after completion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gunpla detailing, Warhammer accents, scale model panel work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"How do DSPIAE MK markers compare to Gundam Markers?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"Different chemistry.
