national shortage Mr finishing surface black?

Is there a national shortage of Mr finishing surfacer 1500 black, 40ml pots?

 

Anyone know an online store that still has it?

Seems to be a bigger issue than just UK shotage. Even Mojehobby / Super-Hobby which has basically everything else from Mr Hobby, is out of stock.

 

MRP does a have black surfacer, Fine Surface Primer. But it's more matt, IIRC 1500 Black is more smooth and satin. I don't prime in black, so haven't used either of them that often.

I've noticed it has been recommended a few places in the Warhammer hobby community possibly demand increased dramatically.

You may be able to still find the Aqueous version available. It can also be thinned with MLT

ok an option, I take it that it should work with Tamiya lacquer thinner too.

Not tried it but I would expect so

The Aqueous Surfacer is 1000, but the particles might be finer than lacquer 1000, at least the finish is really smooth.

There has been a general shortage of Mr Hobby products in Europe for the last 18 months or more. Problems with shipping through the Red Sea is being bandied about as the excuse however the shortages started before the current troubles in that region intensified. Obviously the more popular items like the thinners and Mr FS Black sell out faster than some of the more obscure colours of paints. However we have been told by the Importers that stock levels of all items should be back to near normal levels by the end of October, we shall see.
