Looks like a good place to order from - what's their shipping prices like? Might have to give them a try too! BTW, your link just takes you to a log-in page? Is that the TOW version?

Cheers,
Jim

Hi Jim,
Berliner Zinnfiguren is more a shop for figures and books. Modelling is just a new branch. The service is usually fast and good. Postal charge are between 5 and 6 Euros. Sometimes its good to compare prices with other online shops, the prices for Trumpeter kit a more than fair. They are on show at the bi-annual Zinnfigurenbörse in Kulmbach. BTW the next Zinnfigurenbörse is in 2015 in August. Maybe you can convince your family to a trip to Franconia.

Besides this I'd like to know the differences between the two releases.

Hi guys!

I built one of this little cars this year. It's a first version, but AFAIK, the "new" Wiesel is the same kit w/some new pieces to make the A2 version, including a new MG.

Here's my little buddy:







Cheers!

Marco
