Alvis Stalwart in 1:35
Posted by The Meatcan on Friday, January 12, 2024 4:22 PM

Anyone know if any kit company has plans to issue a Stalwart in injection plastic? All I can find in 1:35 is the very expensive resin kits. Seems like a great subject for a good new tool kit.

Dragon/Black Label did the Saladin MK2, which will give you the chassis & running gear.

They announced a FV603 Saracen in 2018 catalogue  but nothing as yet.

 Boxart FV603 Saracen 3577 Dragon

Ther are occasional listings from 2 different individuals for 3D printed ones in several scales.
The ones I looked at were 3D visualisations (ie not actually produced) or seemed like they were PLA printed, with layers like trenches. They may have improved since then.

Amazingly, wikipedia article on the Stolly (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvis_Stalwart) has a "Scale Models" section (this should be mandatory on Wikipedia!) and it says: "In 1971, Airfix released a 1:32 "Ready Made" assembled plastic model". Interesting, huh?

Only after reading this, do I remember I had this as a kid, as well as the Abbot, Bedford truck, 105mm light gun, Cromwell tank, & a German PzIV, Hanomag semi-track amongst others.

They were very simple toys, with bodies of one or two pieces of soft green polythene with harder plastic wheels.

OK, but if one wanted building one, then it wouldn't need to be completely scratchbuilt, that would be a basis for a deep reconstruction...
