That is an awfully broad question Ollie. There are thousands of modeling aftermarket companies, making everything from ignition harnesses for 1/24th scale Nascar cars to brass railings for 350th scale battleships.

I could help out with some of the better known companies if you could narrow down your question a bit.

Ready to try and help out,

Shaun.

For what? Airplanes, armor, ships, cars, real spacecraft, sci-fi kits, figures? You'll have to narrow down what you are looking for, photoetch for something, tracks, decals, etc.

Eduard is a main manufacturer of photo etched parts for planes, armor and some ships. Verlinden is probably the granddaddy of aftermarket items for armor and aircraft. Squadron is known for aircraft canopies. Moskit does real metal exhausts for aircraft and armor. True Details and Black Box do resin wheels and cockpits.

You will have to be more specific or this page will fill with potentially useless (to you) information.

LOL sorry, i didn't realise there could be so many aftermarket producers.

Any way I make mostly 1/35 scale Helicopters and armor. I have two 1/35 blackhawks that need some accessories like wing tanks, guns, detailed cockpits, etc. I have a 1/35 UH-1C 'Heavy Hog' which needs a better cockpit and rocket pods (originals were poor). I also have a Tamiya 1/32 scale
F-14A 'Black Knights' on the way, but need a detailed cockpit option.

Basically i need a site that has all the aftermarket parts for 1/35 armor and Helo's.


Thank you.

Sorry, but it's still too broad - in the case of armor there must be hundreds of producers out there....Jim

Go to Eduard's website at http://www.eduard.cz/. Use the advanced search feature and set your search fields to 1/35 and aircraft. There were six pages of items for 1/35 scale aircraft including stuff for the Blackhawk and Huey. Repeat procedure for other scale/genre items you are looking for.

Also try Squadron's website at http://www.squadron.com/. Set the search fields to 1/35 helicopter accessories, repeat as per above.

Your original question was much like saying you have a car and you know Goodyear makes tires. Tell me who makes car parts.
