Gem Like Ruby Red for Scale Kits

Mr. Hobby GSI-XC03 offers a concentrated Ruby Red in an 18ml Mr. Crystal Color pot, suited to figures, model kits and small scenic pieces. With careful layering this paint delivers a bright, reflective finish that highlights detail.

What Makes This Ruby Red Useful

The Mr. Crystal Color series focuses on steady coverage and strong colour payoff. This Ruby Red shade is particularly effective for creating eye catching accents and for glazing techniques where depth and translucency are desired.

Practical Application Tips

Always prepare the surface by cleaning and applying a suitable primer for consistent results.
Layer lightly and let each coat level and dry; avoid heavy coats that can dull the gloss.
For fine edges use a small sable brush or a low pressure airbrush setting to maintain control.

Is this paint suitable for gloss or matte finishes?

The paint itself dries with a glossy, reflective look when applied correctly. You can apply compatible matt or gloss topcoats afterwards to alter the final sheen.

How long does it take to dry between coats?

Drying times vary with thickness and environment; allow each thin layer to level and feel touch dry before adding the next coat to avoid trapping solvents.

Can this paint be used over existing enamel or acrylic layers?

Compatibility depends on the underlying finish. Lightly sand and test a small area first; priming between incompatible layers is the safest option.

What are good practices for touch ups?

Use small brushes and thin the paint slightly for touch ups. Match surrounding sheen with a light polish or a thin clear coat if needed.
