With regard to the resin zimmerit, Cavalier is good, but ATAK is better, generally speaking. Cavalier is cheaper though, which is a plus. You can try eBay for either brand, or different online stores have it too, like GreatModels or Sprue Brothers, for example.

And yeah, I know what you mean about Eduard, in general, not being that great :-( I've been working on a project in which I had to use Eduard because it was the only etch set available to us and it sucks to solder. Even after I remove that stupid nickel coat, it still is sucks and I have to use a lot more solder than I'd like to use just to make it stick to the brass plate :-( C'est la vie.
