These kits look fun to build, Don! And for what these cost, they don't look too bad. (Your painting is good, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.) Though the detail is somewhere between a toy and a typical model kit, and I suspect they'd be better for wargaming than for static display; I can think of another possible use . . . .
One of my biggest complaints with our hobby these days is that there are no inexpensive model kits out there for young, new hobbyists to "practice on," and gain experience before tackling the latest, more detailed (and much more expensive) kits. This is especially frustrating when all model companies have tooling in storage from the 1950's - 1980's that are not "state of the art," but are "bought and paid for," and could have a second life as inexpensive "training" kits to help get more schoolkids into the hobby. (As well as give pensioners looking for a taste of nostalgia a break . . . .)
Though not perfect, these three kits could help fill this role.
Keep up the great work Don.

Hi Don, another great find, I would buy these tanks for future diorama's. Do you have a link to them?
Keep the great content coming, thanks for sharing Don.
I bought them through a Thai shopping channel from China, the only connection I could make was a company called "Taobao". Maybe you could track them down somehow and order from where you are. The crazy thing is they're on offer now and are even cheaper.
Thanks Don, I think I've found them.@@nanplabwern
The box art is of a StuG III not a StuG IV.
At least they give you what they say they do . . . .
Where did you find these kits
A company called 'Taobao' in China. I bought them via a shopping channel in Thailand.
