Airfix - Alvis Stalwart Mk.2 Limber - 1:35
Product Code: A1387
(Pre-Order Due April 2026)
Looking like a vehicle you might expect to see
emerging from the pod beneath Gerry Anderson’s Thunderbird 2, rather
than a high-mobility load-carrier for the British Army, the Alvis
Stalwart Mk.2 earned a go-anywhere, fear-nothing reputation during its
30-year service career. A fully amphibious vehicle, this particular
variant was equipped with a powerful Atlas loader crane, designed
specifically to transport and deliver ammunition for the British Army’s
FV433 Abbott self-propelled gun, with each Abbott being assigned its own
Stalwart for support. At its shortest extension, the Atlas loading arm
could lift a load of three tons, reducing to just less than half that at
its maximum four metre extension.
