I love the current generation of models with all the petite details and greebles. This kit looks fantastic.

Thanks for all the comments Guys and kind words of support, it is a challenging build, not for the novice or faint hearted. If you keep your cool with regular breaks for a Iced Tea, you should get along with it.
I used tweezers and clothes pegs to pinch parts into alignment at times, like here getting the front plate to fit the air inlet surround.
The vehicle mounted Radio is nicely detailed and fits well.

Here’s an earlier picture of it with the Standard Army Rumour Service scale. I did mention it is a small vehicle.

Yep, not much bigger than a Willy’s Jeep.

It’s a real nice build and reference photos I have never seen before.

Having placed an order for glass for my recent build of the Scammell tank recovery vehicle build, I cast around for a second item to be glass cased up, and my eye’s fell on a diorama that needs finishing off, I moved some figures over for now, the General and his staff checking the map. They are in the way of where the Weasel will sit.
the figures have metal wires in their heels to act like spikes to hold the figures in position as the glue dries, his hand needs to touch the map!
now the Weasel lacks credibility with that fresh off the landing ship clean look, some weathering needed there.

That’s a great looking diorama.
