Favorite Modeling Product?

Aside from your favorite kit, what product do you like best? For me, it's Xtracolour paints from England. It's an enamel paint that is glossy so you don't have to apply a clear coat for decaling the model. I don't like to add too many clear coats as I believe each one alters the original color a litte bit. In addition to this, the people who make this stuff actually travel to museums, air shows, etc. to research their product. Best of all, for me, this stuff goes on so well that I can do practically anything with it. It "feathers" beautifully. I like to freehand my camo schemes on airplanes and with a Paasche H airbrush this is not the easiest thing to do. This paint is so good I can do the mottled camo on a Bf-109 freehanded with no problems. I have often told other modelers that if this paint were ever discontinued, I'd consider getting out of the hobby! (well, maybe not...!)
Regards,
Pat
