AK10020 Watercolor Pencil Red Primer

The 17cm length is perfect for getting a solid grip while shading tight corners on tank panels, and the semi-grease texture lays down pigment without skipping. Used it wet for a wash effect and it reactivated just as advertised. My first pass at rust streaks came out looking way more natural than I

I was a little skeptical about a water-based pencil for weathering, but the 17cm semi-grease core is perfect for laying down fine streaks and then blending with a wet brush. It's been my go-to for streak marks and grime on panels, and I've already used it on three kits.

The red pigment is rich enough that a single pass leaves a visible mark on primer, which saves me time when sketching panel lines. It does require a light touch since it's semi-grease, but that's easy to adapt to after a few minutes.
