Hi John, doubt very much because they were given it for free mr hobby dont need to get cheap advertising on YouTube their products are better than that ,in my own stupid opinion one of the best products out there ,why don't you hear more about them because people that use them have zero complaints ive pots of their acrylic paint using mr hobby acrylic thinners (also used to thin AK and other acrylic paints)you can also use their thinner and self leveling leveling thinner in acrylic paint plus its brilliant in
tamiya paints. Why isn't it mentioned more well because like
tamiya it comes in JARS ,bummer you can take the lid off and mix it and you know its mixed. No people want thoes dropper bottles where your never know if its mixed correctly(is this where half their mixing and spraying problems start) even if you've put it through your own patent applied for heath Robinson two in one reciprocating saw and paint shaker ,the latest trend seeming to be the need for some kind of spinning thing from a laboratory to try and mix dropper bottles and the biggest bug bear they mr hobby and
tamiya dont come in thousands of hardly distinguishable shades they do a few real ones and some of thoes German RLM OBE MBE shades but you won't find dunklegelb thats been out in the rain for six weeks. Before you all round up a possie to hang me yes I use Ak and other brands in dropper bottles mainly because I'm lazy and if the s**t fits wear it.
Any way buddy back to the subject at hand here's what I use and know (hoping you know and trust me well enough by now) I've been using mr hobby aqueous black primer 1000 for some time now mixed with mr hobby aqueous thinner.

And I havent attempted to paint them yet too cowardly it seem to give a excellent finish even on these tiny bad boys.

Your talking ten or twelve squids for a jar of the surfacer and a small bottle of aqueous thinner a jar is going to last a long time depending on how you actually go about using it but thats a subject for another day don't think they could take two of my thoughts in one day. Up to you mate but at the moment its my go to primer I think its also in grey and white as well now if you do give it a spin out make sure its the aqueous type (acrylic). Dave.
