Enterprise Question

[marterrin]

Hello

I have just purchased the Tamiya 1:350 enterprise and was wondering how to paint the tie down pads all over the deck or do you have to paint them at all? i built the kit 20 years ago and paint the dots with a paint brush but now thinking a white paint marker might do the job.

thanks for that, i assumed a paint maker would work just wanted to know if anyone had done it before, i built this model many moons ago and used a paint brush, just thought this day and age there must be an easier way.

I recently invested in a set of paint markers for my HMS PUMA build and have been very impressed with them.  The ones I use are these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Painting-Ceramic-Acrylic-Markers-Extra-fine/dp/B07485T22B?ref_=ast_sto_dp
