Mark_E Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Hi, Wondering if anyone has a copy of the Airfix magazine for February 1963, or March 1974.Both have pictures of Alvis Stalwarts on the front.The Feb 63 one has an article on how to build an Alvis Stalwart using plastic card. I'm presuming that the 1974 edition has something similar.I'm admin of the Stalwart group on Facebook, and some members have asked about plans to make models.Would greatly apreciate it if anyone has a copy and could scan the relevant pages as a PDF for me.Many thanks/media/tinymce_upload/ee04f8f1be0b39568c698bea8717f639.jpg /media/tinymce_upload/437bc5e759475ddae0524708a35c535b.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert_H Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Hello Mark I do not have the February 1963 issue.The March 1974 issue has only the photograph on the front page but it does refer to an article in the November 1973 issue on how to build the Alvis Stalwart in 1:76 scale.I am quite willing to scan this article (3 pages) but I wonder whether the forum rules do allow uploading such items ?

peebeep Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 For those who might be a little daunted by scratch building, it's worth noting that there are a number of Stalwart kits available, some are current, others might be a bit difficult to track down. The large scale kits are in resin and therefore you'll be required to push the boat out if you want one.1/76 S & M Models, Mk 1 & 2 kits1/72 Ace, Mk 1 & 2 kits1/35 Accurate Armour, Mk 1, 2, RA Limber, REME & UBRE. Resin kits1/32 Airfix, polypropylene ready-made, plenty of them on ebay1/24 Kit Form Services, Mk 2, plus conversion set for the limber Atlas crane. Resin kits.

geggy Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Hi. I didn't see if you managed to get a copy, but if you go to Facebook and search for "old modelling magazines", I've posted dozens of old Airfix magazines; i can't recall off hand if I've posted either but you may get lucky! And I seem to recall posting a plan from Military Modelling.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
