You can`t go wrong buying from Ed. I have several of his bodies and other parts and they are all first rate resin. I have just got to get around to building them, LOL.
Tamiya, Bragdon,Ak, Doc`s are all good weathering materials. But if you are looking for the mud look you can`t beat the real stuff thinned with water and flicked off a toothbrush. Quick tip: if you do not want it to come off with handling add a little white glue to the mix.
