Folks, I have stared delving into the world of after market PE and accessories for armor and planes, but I am having trouble connecting kits with the aftermarket that is designed for them. To me, Eduard's site does a pretty poor job of allowing m to find the right stuff for my models.
Are their any other sites you use that do a decent job of this? In my mind, a site that lists the kit and then all the available a accessories on the side bar or below would be ideal. I'd also like to be able to search a site for aftermarket for kits I already own.
Thanks!

I have found the search engine on Eduard fairly good at finding what you are looking for, and they have the instructions in PDF format for those that struggle with the small print in the included instructions. ABERs new site is also much better. Voyager is a bit hit and miss as you are never 100% sure of what exactly you are going to get. ET Model has no search function that I am aware of. It is also worth looking at sets by Alliance Model Works.
I believe the first four cover the majors.

A good start would be to visit a vendor such as Great Models or Hobby Easy and look up the base kit you want to add AM to. On GM, click the Related Items tab and you'll get a pretty good list:
