What are some good sources for the various photo etched suppliers? Do most people buy direct from Aber, Eduard and other vendors?

I shop GP Hobby in Krakow for Aber. Their prices are substantially discounted from US retail, and shipping is reasonable.

I buy Eduard from places like Squadron.com (their comsale prices are great) or from a friend and fellow Armorama member Robert Burnside (aka Alpenflage). He has better prices. I think his link is in his signature block. I found him through his sales on Ebay.

I also hit the local hobby shop for Eduard, Aber and other manufacturers.

I buy 1/72 scale PE from Tracks & Troops in Belgium. This is mainly Part and ExtraTech.

I get a lot of Part and Aber PE from George Parada. He lists sales in RMS or sometimes e-mails sale lists out. He also sells on Ebay as user ID georgep.

Hi. I tend to get most of my after-market supplies from R and J Products out in Washington State. It's a Mom and Pop type of business and they are both very, very knowledgeable on what they stock and sell and, can point you in the right direction if you're hunting for something for a particular kit. And they have great shipping and pretty good prices too.
