Hey Guys,
Is there a web site that lists armor kits and the ALL the possible after market detail accessories by manufacturers? That would be very helpful! TY
It’s a pretty fluid situation but I’d say the PMMS site is the best available

There are other lists for 1/48 armor, references and figs too on PMMS
It’s not an exact science, but if you go to Greatmodels and do a search for say a Panther, it will pull up everything from books to AM.
I agree, Great Models would be the best bet for what’s currently on the market. But youy would have to list each model individually.
Once upon a time in the early days of internet modeling sites, there was a site called HobbyWeb (or something like that). It was a fairly comprehensive listing of model kits along with the various aftermarket accessories that could be used with that kit. Of course, back then there was mainly the old Eduard PE, Verlinden, On The Mark and a few other old school AM sets.
I think the main “problem” or complaint at the time was that if an AM set was designed for a particular model, say an Eduard PE set for the Italeri M4A1, it was only listed for that kit and was not cross referenced to other similar kits that could use the same PE set.
I think it went under when the bandwidth usage was so high the webmaster could not afford to pay for the site. This probably happened because it was popular and many folks may have downloaded the entire site and burned it to a disc.
Back in 1998, Military Miniatures in Review Magazine published the Armor Modeler’s Guide to the Universe. Obviously this was out of date the day it hit the LHS shelf, but it does contain some 4500 products all related to 1/35th scale armor. It doesn’t appear to have sold well, because they have not made a updated version, probably because it is such a futile task to begin with.
