Carlos, Yes it is nice for the price. With the exception of the winter panzer III I have been really happy with the products so far.
I have the panzer III in the grey and I like it but for some reason the winter version looks off to me. Could be a mental thing for all I know.
Btw Carlos I used to look at your pics from when they had the collections pictures and they were some of the best WW2 dioramas I have ever seen.

Poor quality photos before 1943 of tanks in B/W almost always look to be painted in RAL 7021 panzer grey....
Lets take for example this relatively undamaged Stug III Ausf. F:
Everybody would tell that this is a panzer grey model, right?
Well, now lets take a better quality shot:
Given the low contrast between the colors, I would say that is a ral 8000/7008 pattern {sm4}, and yes, that one was also used for the Tiger tanks in Tunisia...but that is another story...

Thank you Chuck
BTW, their Kubelwagen is well worth the price.
It came with canopy and folded canopy and removable driver that can be removed to suit your diorama needs.
It was painted and weathered very well.

I ordered it and received it , but the kubelwagen had some damaged so they are sending a replacement.
So everyone is aware they do not come with a full canopy any longer.
folded and removable driver still.
Btw I found out after I took the pics, a few of the hatches open on the stug like most of ED AFVs

Shame about the canopy!
A note on scale as often you see questions here on how figures and vehicles from differente manufacturers compare.
I got this ED Stug III ausf F and it is a very nice piece.
I do have a couple of ancient King and Country Stug III and noticed the significant difference in size.
Hard to figure out when you look for reference of length of these AFV, as I can never tell if you measure including the gun or not, so I went with the width measurement for these numbers
Stug III was 116 inches wide (9' 8")
The old K&C Stug III comes out to 1/32 and 3.625" wide
This ED Stug comes out to 1/29 and 4" wide
It does not sound as a big difference but side by side it is a huge difference
