Again
Don't know about but I picked up a pen at Office Depot and it did not break the piggy bank and worked great. Do a search here and maybe find the picture I posted.

I'm looking too, for a gray one to make the panel lines and rivets on my Yak-9. I hope the clear Lusterkote is friendly with the marker ink and doesn't make it spread or run.
No luck at Hobbytown USA yesterday, but I did get everything for my control linkages. She's finally getting there. I've never been so meticulous on a build. It's all y'all's fault! Thanks for inspiring me to turn up my game.

Why not just use Brodak (or Sig) White Dope. It works fine!
I use kooinoor pens and just fill them with white dope instead of ink.

I was thinking about it while working on the plane today and am thinking, since I'm going to spray clear over flat white paint, maybe a drafting pencil is best for my panel lines and rivets.

I'd be very careful about pencil. Pencil lead contains waxes and nothing likes to stick very well over wax.

Lines and shading on this 1/2A twin were done with art pencils, topped with satin polyurethane. Worked very well.

Paasche the maker of pretty good airbrushes has a special version for drawing inklines called a flow pencil. It's basically a gravity powered technical pen (tech pen) just like a Koh-i-noor, except probably allows more flow from the top-mounted tank out throught the nib. Plus it sounds like it is pretty easy to clean, maybe more so than a tech pen. It comes standard with a 1/32" nib and you can also buy 1/64" (Wow! Must be for 1/2A), 3/64", and 1/16" nibs.
The links below are a couple of different sources at $40-$50. The image is something I screen-grabbed from a newsletter I read a while back:

Since I have the wooden holders that are painted with all that I've used to apply the finish so far to the flaps and stab etc., I'll use them as a test piece with some markings from different pencils and see what happens when I spray the clear on.

Is there some trick to using the white ink? I have no problem with the black, works like regular ink. The white seems to want to form a film of some sort as it comes out of the pen, and I get a big clump right at the nib in no time at all.
I use Testors solvent-type paint for anything but black, that always works. The one that is missing from the regular inks is an acceptable silver.
