Plastic model resale and Gundam model resale are causing primer shortages? Akihabara hobby shop

Recently, there has been a lot of buzz on Twitter about plastic model resale. While it may seem like it only applies to kits, it seems to be spreading to related products as well.Even surfacers and top coats are in short supplyIt seems.

Uu ...

That's what they say, but there was also the case of people reselling pancake mix, so it seems like something they'd do...
So, I went to check out the primer and top coat situation at hobby shops in Akihabara!!

Is it really in short supply? We looked into surfacers in Akihabara

It's true that there is no spray type 1200 or black 1500.
By the way, the bottle type was commonly available.
The top coat is generous.

Citadel's super expensive surfacer also has a little bit of white in it.

The Gundam Marker Airbrush, which was very popular in the past, is now available on regular shelves.

Yellow Submarine Akihabara Main Store ★ Mint

Is 1200 too little?

The bottle doesn't seem to be getting any smaller.

The Citadel was less black.

The top coat is separate...

My Feelings, Then and Now

That's it for the three hobby shops in Akihabara!!

Small sample!!

In Akihabara, it felt like the number of items was decreasing, but not really, so I wasn't really sure. (My impression is similar to that of a curated site.)

The state of Akihabara on September 10th

It would be a bit strange to end it there, so let's take a look at what Akihabara is like these days.

Dospara Akihabara Annex will close on September 13th.
It seems that it will be integrated into the main store.

I could see what was going on inside through the window.
Preparations are currently underway.

COSPA opens at Atre Akihabara 1.
Apparently you can get a sticker now.

Tsukumotan's contract ends on August 31st.
