that is the only way for you to fix the patch...white handpaint that part or use white marker

unless u really wanna fix ur freedom by sanding and painting the whole kit

think its time you paint ur freedom already since you really like it so much

direct usage from marker to model kits or by transferring into paint tray then paint ur kits is the same thing...
the only diff is that the 1st method is in a shape of pen and the 2nd method is brushing...
my suggestion would be thin it more as the marker's thinning ratio in the pen is about 1:1...
if its oil based marker and i believe that most gundam markers with blue body is oil based, u can thinned it down with mr.color thinner or mr.levelling thinner so that the ratio will be 2:1 to have better finishing on ur kits...
this suggestion applies only if u wanna paint big surface area...
if u just wanna touch up the head cannon, inner thrusters, eyes, small surface area, no thinning needed...
have fun...

glossy or not that is your taste...

but spray primer is good especially after you sand it...
but it also ok if you wanna straight spray the white paint...

but of course..spraying primer first is recommended

it really depends on how u build actually...
if the nip marks are visible and u sand them down, the scratch is visible, then, base coat, color and top coat..
if u use the nail buffer method and the scratch is almost gone or unnoticeable, just topcoat is ok...
so, it all comes to the preparation of building ur kits..
hope this helps...
have fun..

Thanks for the info. My kit is already built one. Now feel like cleaning up some unneat parts and touching it up, coz that was my first gunpla, my handywork wasnt that good.
Ain't the topcoat for protecting the paint layers so that the paint doesnt come off easily? Glossy looks not bad I think...more like shiny XD

topcoat is for final protection..but it didnt protect your paint from scratch off. primer make your paint stick better on your plastic. topcoat also protect ur paint from fading, yellowish, and also your decal and sticker

but for those transformable model..the paint still got risk of scratch off when transform process.

yup, that's right...
if u touch up with paint, topcoat is a must if u want to protect ur paint job..
the kits is kinda like semi-gloss, u can choose if u wanna bling ur kits or ur make it look flat, not toy like...
if u wanna make it shine, i suggest u go all the way like shining ur car, now that'll look like freshly baked out of the production line waxed finished super duper mirror like gundam...
huahuahua....
my suggestion would be, rather than just do touch up, why dont u go all the way on the whole kit...
personalized ur MG to have ur own trademark, make it ur own version of MG..
may it be OOB with custom paint job or OOB with same color scheme, try and make it ur own...
dont worry messing up, i know i did, but hey, u'll learn as u go along...
have fun...

but if that kit had been your all time fav...its better to do it properly and dont experiment anything that you not sure what you are doing.

screw up kits can be fixed most of the time..but they are not easy to do and sometimes can be costly

Another important thing to remember. If you were to apply primer/surfacer, you might have to deepen those panel line on the part or else they might disappear if u were to apply a thick coat of primer.

If i screw up big time, worse come to worse get another MG freedom >.<. Btw we apply decal first then put topcoat or decal on topcoat? All the while I just do snap fit only.

U guys know the sticker type decals that come with the model. Those i try to apply always got like air trapped inside. How you peopel apply that unto the model nicely. It's not the dry rub on decals.
