PE created equal?

You have a legitimate question but I don't know if anyone has done a comprehensive comparison.  Obviously some older stuff (Airwaves, old Eduard) is clunky.  Then there's the insanity of lots of ABER stuff.  But looking at the accuracy and nice design of some of the stuff from China (Griffon & Lion Roar), I can tell that most everybody is doing good stuff. 

I would just post individual requests:"What PE set do you recommend for my new aqcusition?" and see what people say. 

I recently reviewed some Griffon PE sets for the DML M16 quad gun half track and found its quality to be top notch.

I would agree with Roy....it varies from kit to kit....as someone who only does US subjects, Eduard is fine, Griffon is good and some of the new arrivials like MK are ok.

In general, if you are building a more recent kit, you will be left with about half the PE unused when you are done. Many of the items they give you just don't need to be replaced.

I have yet to build a model with PE and use the whole PE set. With that in mind, look at price. Eduard gives you details and is reasonable.

Some of the expensive Griffon and Aber sets can be a disappointment as to how much you spent and how much you use!!

Rounds Complete!!

I would agree with both above. When it comes to armour, i used to always go for Aber first. If they diodn't have a set for a certain kit, i then went for Eduard. But lately i have been going for Voyager sets. They usually work out cheaper than Aber but still have all the parts i really need. And seem to have less of all the unnsessacery parts that Aber has.

But to repeat whats been said, edaurd are perfectly fine and give very good detail for less price. And it will vary from kit to kit.
