Who offers the best value photo-etch sets for the Humvee, M2A2ODS and M1A1? Seems that the Eduard sets are extensive, but sheesh .. they cost more than the kits!

Hi
Im afraid that not many companies produce modern etch sets. Eduard are in the main the only ones with an extensive line.
I believe Lion Roar do an M1A1 set??? but Eduard are the only company to produce anything for the Humvee and M2A2 and while they are expensive they are well worth the cash. The Humvee set is a must have, and includes lots of very important details to make a good Humvee. The M2A2 sets are equally as good-im using them now and really they do make the model look that bit better, the turret interior set is especially nice.
Honestly if you have the patience and a good skill with plasti card and metal foil and wire you could probably do a good detail job yourself. But im lazy and not as skilled so its the etch sets all the way.
