Chuck's pair of Wiesels in 1/72 scale. *Finished*
Would you believe I have a set of Modern German paratroopers that have been waiting for some appropriate vehicles? :P Thanks to S-Model's recent release of the Wiesel 1 Mk20, I have my 5th and 6th builds of the month and another kit to keep me busy for the holidays.
On second thoughts, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place!

That looks to be in a similar vein to the Armourfast kits; looking forward to seeing the finished articles!
Best wishes

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

I finished the both builds this morning and will be posting pictures tomorrow. The kit was a nice build and the photo-etch enhanced the kit. This vehicle is tiny to say the least.

Another excellent subject choice Chuck. Man, this must be pretty small in 1/72nd as it certainly ain't huge in 1/35th!

And now, for the finished product. All-in-all, the kits went together pretty well with no problems. The photoetch was also a nice addition to the kit.

And the second of the two kits. This time with the hatch closed.
