I used to use Tamiya and Gunze-Sangyo paints, which come
I preferred to Citadel (mainly because they had "real"
names, instead of idiocies like snotling green). They
were sold as "authentic" colors for historical models.
But any more, I use Apple Barrel and Americana almost
exclusively. I find them easier to use and clean up,
they cost far less, and they work very nicely.
And I haven't found anything that works better (for me)
than the Extender for washes.
