Hello and welcome to Scale stuff, in this weeks video I am going to be building and reviewing the Airfix 1:35 Alvis FV622 Stalwart MK 2 or Stolly.

In this video I take a on building this beast of an amphibious truck, showing you how to make and paint this model from start to finish and talking about all the issues I had while making this kit so you dont make the same mistakes that I did.

This is a really cool six wheeled truck model that dispite having a few issues with, was a lot of fun to build and paint.

Great looking model.
If I remember right from somewhere, red bolts are 'do not touch' and whites are 'safe to get out for tire change.' As the white ones are the ones that keep the wheel on the axle, while the red ones are keeping the tire itself together as the rim is made up of two parts.

From camp in Höhne to the tank ranges sat in the back, freezing in the winter, so the full screws had first call near the hot exhausts 🤣🤣

Nice! Bit of a big kit for me though sadly.

Just a comment on your comment re Accurate Armour's Stalwart of 2004, and later versions. Scalemates attribute the injection moulded kit to Airfix. When i looked at the AccArmour kit it is mainly resin with a bit of PE. I really think you have an Airfix original rather than a rebox.
Nice job on putting it all together, with a good finish.

As an ex Stolly driver i'd like to point out that the fire extinguishers should be dark gloss green, the red ones came much later. It doesn't really matter that much, after all, it adds a spot of colour. Nice build though.

I was helping on a Battery (artillery unit) resupply in Germany in the 1980's, I was in the back of the Stally and I could smell burning? my webbing yoke was touching the exhaust pipe and ended up smouldering! Problem was the back of the Stally was full of jerry cans!

Great looking kit! Lovely paint job for sure!

I find that some Vallejo glaze medium helps get a smoother wash coat over larger areas, also helps to give a longer working time! And I also heard somewhere that dilute PVA is handy for see through plastic bits, as there is less risk of that "blooming" effect!
