If you can find an alternative, such as Micron Pigma, at a local art supply store, You don't need to pay so high to get the Gundam marker. It gives you an okay result, but lines are not so thin to call it realistic anyway.

High price? £1 from HLJ is not a high price for a pen it's pretty average. Yes, a thin Gundam marker is perfect for panel lines but you need to be careful because it's permanent ink even though it's a fine water soluble type tip. So be careful or you'll need to compound off your mistakes.
