I finally received my ED Stug III from China yesterday. I got one of the Stug IIIC/D models in a faded winter whitewash that came with additional accessories, including stowage, a large flag, and (interestingly) swappable guns. I chose to use the 75mm L48 gun with Saukopf mantlet to replicate an actual late war conversion that was made to up-gun an older Stug III.
Anyways, about the scale - the ED Stug III is the same size as their Panzer IIIL. It’s a bit large for 1/30 and is noticeably larger when placed next to the John Jenkins Designs Stug IIIG. The ED model is only slightly smaller than the Collectors Showcase Stug IIIG. Without doing any fancy calculations, I’d guess the ED Stug III is likely around 1/29 scale, while the JJD model is properly 1/30 and the TCS model 1/28. To my eye, the ED Stug III looks good with either 1/28 scale K&C figures or 1/30 War Park figures. Here’s some pics...
