Glass-Like Sapphire Finish for Scale Work

Mr. Hobby GSI-XC05 Crystal Color in Sapphire Blue provides a translucent, glass-like blue ideal for accenting scale kits and figures. As a member of the Mr.Color collection, it is favoured for its smooth laydown and vivid appearance.

Engineered for Controlled Application

This Crystal Color paints on evenly for airbrush or fine brush techniques, making it straightforward to build colour depth without obscuring recessed details. Thin coats help maintain crisp edges and fine lines.

Compatibility and Surface Notes

The GSI-XC05 is appropriate for most modelling plastics and prepared surfaces, delivering good coverage when used with suitable primers. Always trial on a spare part to confirm adhesion and final look.

This colour is not designed specifically for polycarbonate RC shells. Use a dedicated polycarbonate paint when coating lexan bodies to avoid poor adhesion or cracking.
Clean parts to remove oils and dust, then apply a compatible primer if necessary. Proper prep ensures better adhesion and a more uniform finish.
After sealing the base coat, use light washes, dry brushing or filters to weather without compromising the translucent sapphire tone. Seal the effects with a suitable clear.
Mixing with compatible Mr.Color shades can create custom tints, but test small mixes first to check flow and finish before applying to a model.
