First round of airbrushing is done, some dark green for th interior. Next will be some detail painting and weathering.

Danke, naja Spaß ist relativ, die 60 Teile der Wanne und des Fahrwerks waren eine ziemliche Qual, alles mit massiven Fischhäuten und teils groben Angüssen. ...aber jetzt läufts.😉

Ich habe schon ein paar Mal überlegt, ob ich das Ding erwerbe, denn meine zwei Unimog-Bausätze von ACE schauen prima aus, wenn auch etwas umständlich aufgeteilt. Sollte ich die schaffen, kommt der Stalwart. 🙂

@Mirko, schön zu hören, dass der Unimog besser aussieht, der reizt mich irgendwie auch noch.

Weathering on the chassis and in the cabin is done, maybe I add some dust later.

Started with the windows today, first time for me with this type of film, but it works really fine.

Finished the crane and the rims, the tires still need a flat coat and some weathering. The Stalwart is nearly ready for paint, only some little bits are missing.

Excellent work on one of my favourite military vehicles.
Only last week I bemoaning the lack of affordable Stalwart kits in 1/35. You might temp me to get one in 1/72 instead.

Thanks Lukasz, I´m glad it turned out well.
@gorbygould indeedit´s a shame that there are only the expensive resin kits in 1/35, but Stalwarts are rare in all scales. Neither Airfix did one of this iconic british trucks.

lots of variants of this truck.AA do them in 35th but are not cheap.

I started to wonder on which side the steering wheel is, but I see the Stalwart's designers were smarter 😄

The 1/35 Accurate Armour models look fantastic, but £110 is well past my budget. 🙁
The Alvis factory used to be quite close to where I lived, so we would see these amazing things trundling around the streets quite frequently in Coventry. Which is probably why I've got a bit of a thing for them.

Looking real good. I have one of these in the stash, hope it builds as well as yours

@Dave Flitton, I´m sure it will, at the end it´s a nice little kit. Of course it needs some special attention in a few areas but it´s not bad at all.

Started the final painting today, first was a layer of Gunze H58 for the bright green parts.
13 February 2021, 22:34

Camouflage is finished, next steps will be clear coat and weathering.

@Zsolt Czegle, danke, ja, bin auch schon gespannt wie der Stalwart am Ende wirkt, muß mir noch Gedanken über eine passende Base machen.
16 February 2021, 17:23

@David Taylor, you're absolutely right, it´s a completely different look for the Stalwart. I also like the british camouflage pattern, may I build my second one in black and green.
16 February 2021, 17:25

Some progress with the weathering, I added some more dust useing Tamiya xf-52.

If its running you will have to have the exhaust glowing hot.Magnet for missiles.

Interesting fact. Let's pretend, mine was just started a minute before. 😉
9 March 2021, 17:21

Thanks Mirko, I´m glad it turned out that well. Was my first time with such heavy weathering on a modell.

The Amfibiebil is done, the base alos is ready for the last step, casting the water.
