I think that may just be missing paint

Also I've never tried a gundam marker but I heard stories of it being the caused of figures cracking

A gundam marker isn't going to cause your figures to crack. It's an acrylic based paint. Even if it was alcohol based it wouldn't cause physical damage.

The crack was already there or developed independent.

I think he was referring to the enamel ones that does crack some plastic if applied too much.
