This Airfix Skill 3 kit is a 1/35 scale plastic model of the Alvis FV622 Stalwart Mk.2 military truck, officially licensed and supplied with decals for three different scheme options. The kit's parts breakdown reflects the vehicle's distinctive six-wheel-drive chassis and boat-like hull, and its Skill 3 rating suits builders with some prior experience; paint and cement are required and are not included.

The Alvis Stalwart was a fully amphibious, six-wheel-drive high-mobility load carrier developed for the British Army and introduced into service in the 1960s. Its watertight hull and water-jet propulsion let it swim rivers and coastal waters at speed, while its articulated all-wheel drive carried it across mud, sand and broken ground that stopped conventional trucks, making it a mainstay of British Army logistics units, nicknamed the 'Stolly,' into the 1990s.

FAQs
Is this a real store or just a collection of affiliate links?
It’s both. TinkerTown features gear I actually use, love, and sometimes sell. Some links are affiliate links — if you click them, I might earn a few pennies. It helps me buy more stuff to break.
How do you decide what to feature?
Easy. I tinker with it. If it survives my abuse, earns its keep, or solves a real problem — it goes on the site. If not, it goes in The Duds (yes, that’s a thing).
Do you offer customer support?
If it’s for something I sell directly — yes, you’ll get a real reply from a real human (me or someone I trust). If it’s an affiliate product, you’ll need to deal with the store you bought it from. I just point to the good stuff.
Can I suggest a product or tool?
Absolutely! Got something you swear by (or swore at)? Hit the Contact page and share it. If I like it, I might test it and add it — credit included (unless it explodes).
Are your reviews paid or sponsored?
Nope. No brand pays me to say nice things. Everything you see is tested and written with full creative freedom — including my right to roast terrible tools.
