All,
This may be a far to generic question with a million answers...but do you have preferences for the best generic PE? I'm talking about screens, grates, hand wheels, etc.
I'd like to have a stash of PE for making screens and hatch hand wheels and the million other little things that we seem to need. I'm not a huge fan of buying a $20 Eduard set of PE just for the engine deck screens because I can often make alot of the other tid-bits from plastic but I need the screens.
I'm never sure what size screens to buy and from who.
Sorry this is so broad a question.
Dave

Not sure if there's a generic photo etch is there ? Unless you mean generic screens and things such as skid plate etc , that you can cut to size ? If it's for a model it's pretty much for that model .
