Depends on what you need...Tom's Modelworks and Gold Medal both do railings in 1/192 and 1/200. You won't find much else in the way of photoetch, especially for Sovermenny.

well it's not for the sovremenny, it looks as if im going to have to "bite the bullet" and order the WEM set for the sovremenny.
Its for the other modern and older destroyers and frigates in 1:200 scale trom trumpeter. i like the "od look" of them.

You can find from PEs from ABER (Polish company):
Railings
Ship crew
Hatches
Ladders
Stairs
Wheels (for hatches, capstans, etc.).

These sets are not dedicated for Sovriemiennyi but for general purposes and some of them collect of miscellaneous elemens.

I'm just starting into a 1:200 Sovremenny rebuild, and I want to do some of my own etched bits sometime. This isn't a commercial project, and I won't be duplicating anything on the WEM sheet, but I'm sure I'll be able to run a few extra sheets if anyone is interested. You can see the project so far at http://www.kipperboxes.co.uk/html/sovremenny.html .
