Using photo etched add-ons

Take a look on eBay - use 'photoetch' and 'photo etch' in your search. LOTS of stuff out there.

Gold Medal Models (or GMM for short), But they specialize in ships (and their airwing) only. Also White Ensign Models (also ships and airwing).

Eduard is one of the biggest producers of PE. There are also Royal Models, Aber, Verlinden, On The Mark and I'm sure a few others yet.

Thanks guys, this helps.
The PE set that was with this kit is produced by Eduard. What can you tell me about other producers of PE accessories and add-ons?

Super glue is the best way to attach photo etched parts. It works very well.

white glue.

Depending on the type of part you can also use clear enamel paint. This works great for scripts and stuff like that, that lie flat on the surface. For antennas, etc CA would probably be your best bet.

I've always known to use superglue but my question is this. Often times some PE sets come with all the little exterior antennas found on a given plane, helo, etc. How can I attach these knife-edged parts onto a painted kit without marring the finish too badly? I see pics of models with these tiny details on them but I never see any scraped paint, a bead of superglue, or anything like that! Is it just the camera angle which make other peoples' models look flawless?

Super Glue. I've never had any luck using any other type of adhesive. Be sure to get a bottle that comes with a narrow tip, it's easier for application on small p/e parts.
