photo etch

Post by johnharrison »

Where is the best place to get photo etch for your models? I've not used it before but after watching all the builds on you tube and the effects it has I would like to give it a go.
thanks

Visit https://www.scalemates.com then search for your kit. Then you scroll down & you will see all the after-market stuff, like PE, available for your kit. Click on the PE you want & it will show you who is selling it & how much.

Hannants is pretty good too. Use their catalogue function, find your kit and it will list a load of aftermarket stuff for it. Scalemates is great for reference whereas Hannants is a retailer. They're both great for finding out what's out there. Once you have the product codes for what you want you can then shop around for the best deals.
Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good. :doh:

always search around once you have the reference numbers, google, ebay, amazon as there can be quite the variation in pricing and availability, I have had stuff shipped all the way from AUS to UK cheaper than it could be got in Europe.
stuff is being built... very slowly....
