Model Tank Kit

The AFV Club AF35265 1/35 Wiesel 1A1-A2 TOW Model Tank Kit recreates the anti-tank variant of Germanys compact Wiesel armored weapons carrier, equipped with the proven BGM-71 TOW missile system. Designed for airborne and rapid deployment forces, the Wiesel combines exceptional mobility with powerful anti-armor capability, making it one of the Bundeswehrs most distinctive modern combat vehicles. AFV Clubs kit features finely detailed exterior components, an accurately reproduced missile launcher, and the compact proportions that have made the Wiesel a favorite among military modelers.

Introduced during the Cold War, the Wiesel was developed to provide German airborne troops with a lightweight armored vehicle that could be transported by aircraft and helicopters while still delivering meaningful firepower. The TOW-equipped 1A1-A2 variant served as a dedicated tank destroyer, capable of engaging enemy armored vehicles at long range while remaining small, agile, and easy to conceal. The Wiesel has remained in Bundeswehr service for decades and has participated in international peacekeeping and expeditionary missions, demonstrating the versatility of its innovative design.
