List of aftermarket upgrade makers?

Post by Pete236 »

Evening all.

I've had a good rummage through the forum, but I've not been able to find much.
Is there a comprehensive list of the makers of aftermarket bits n bobs? Photo-etch, resin details etc.
As a newcomer, it's proving tricky to find makers!

Cheers folks,
Pete.

Far too long a list to make.
Get over to Hannants website. Look up anything you're interested in using the search facility and it will show many makers.
Hannants is good but they only keep about 2/3 of the after-market producers

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

Pavla, Eduard, Eduard/Brassin and Aber for starters. These can be found in many model shops and on eBay.

That's great, thanks chaps. Just to have a couple of the more common names is grand!

I second fredk. I go to Hannant's website, plug in the subject and scale then see what shows up that might be useful.
After a while you'll develop a list of other websites/stores that you can do the same thing on, but there is so much out there and it costs sooooo much to subscribe to magazines to stay on top of it.

Of course, another approach is to simply ask a specific (subjuect, scale, typr item) question here on UAMF in the appropriate forum.
