Bart TeunisWell we still sell the basic and the white ones at lifecolor-nl. There is a issue with the import to the netherlands and our channels go through the nordics..... But it is available. The basic stay a little soft and the white because very hard and is better for bigger gaps

Peter JenssenI have Tamiya White Putty and Humbrol Model Filler. I find Tamiya White Putty quite hard and fine grained. Holds detail well, but can be a bit tricky to sand, as the plastic is generally slightly softer than the putty. Also it dries quite quickly. Often before I'm done.
It's the putty I generally use, just making sure i lay on as little as possible and shape with scraping before sanding for flat surfaces.
Extra bonus is that it thins with Tamiya Extra Thin Cement.

Patrick HagelsteinSince recently I'm using the Mr. Paint putty. It's called Mr. Filler Liquid Putty and comes in a glass bottle and is a tan color. It brushes on and sands very nice and I use it for mid size gaps. I even like it more than the Mr. Surfacer ones.
PS. Mr. Paint is from Slovakia and not to be confused with the Japanese brand.
