About product

Waffenträger Wiesel 1 MELLS in 1:35 scale

Waffenträger Wiesel 1 MELLS is an injection-molded plastic kit from the brand AFV Club that captures the antitank version of the German light tracked weapons carrier. The mold is new and holds the launch container and the missile itself, a reworked running gear, a newly shaped driver's hatch, an antenna mount and a protective frame above the hull.

A light tracked weapons carrier

The Wiesel came about for the needs of the German airborne units, which needed an armored vehicle small enough to be carried by helicopter. It has served with the Bundeswehr since 1989 and has been through a number of modifications. The most striking of them concerns the armament: the wire-guided TOW missiles were replaced by the MELLS system, which works on its own after launch and lets the crew change position at once.

What to watch out for during the build

The small dimensions of the real subject mean that every inaccuracy shows. It pays to finish the running gear and the inside of the hull before the upper part is closed, and to fit the launch container only after spraying. The German camouflage comes out well when the transitions of the shades are sprayed with an airbrush and the areas are then toned down with a filter and a fine dust pigment.

Who the set suits

  • Those interested in Bundeswehr hardware
  • Builders of small armored vehicles with rich detail
  • Makers of dioramas with airborne units
  • Collectors of modern antitank weapons

The kit is supplied unassembled and without paint; glue, paints and tools are not enclosed.

FAQ

It carries a modern guided missile that takes care of its own guidance after launch, instead of the older wire-guided TOW system. It also differs in the launcher and in several details of the hull.

The real subject is among the smallest armored vehicles of its time, so the model in 1:35 scale stays very compact and will not take up much room in a display case.

The set holds a quantity of small parts and fine detail, so it rather suits a modeler who has already built several armored vehicles.

They are not. Reckon with obtaining cement for polystyrene, a set of paints and basic tools separately.
