This is the AFV club Wiesel. Overall a nice little kit but the tracks are definitely NOT good.I had to fix them with a staple and use some milliput to cover the gap because the tracks were also too short. So I consider this one finished.
As usual are all comments welcome.

Love the paint job. It looks very much as the ones I saw in Afghanistan. A couple of pointers though. The rear stripe of your TOW missile is supposed to be in a brownish color, which is the NATO marking for rocket engine. The spare missile is missing both markings. It seems like you got some silvering on the right cross and the front road wheels are set a bit high.
Over all it is a very nice build and your paint job is outstanding.
Cheers

Looking good. The axe and the fuel can look great. I wonder if the paint by the driver's hatch might get a bit worn with people climing in and out.
