Jim,
First of all......
Think about the vehicle that you want to do.
Hasegawa has been getting "dinged" pretty good here, but,
They are doing some nice Jagdpanzer IV's, and 8 Rads.
Still not "perfect" but very good compared to their "old" kits.
As the others have mentioned....
Revell is doing up the PzKpfw IV (Hasegawa dropped the ball here)
as well well as some nice variants on the Panther.
Dragon is really doing the Braille Scale world right by all the
kits they are doing.
Once they got away from the "metal" hulls,
They took off running.
Lots of PE and a few metal barrels.
Don't forget about companies like Roden, UM, PST, ICM, and Trumpeter.
Stay away from ACE's Vehicles unless you can get a "fresh" one from the beginning of the run.
Don't go near Military Wheels, Attack, MAC,
Unless you want to do a lot of work.
My 2 cents worth.
