While sharing numerous components with its predecessors, the Stalwart was tasked with a distinct mission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEntering service from 1966 onwards, the Stalwart truly lived up to its name, with its remarkable off-road capabilities earning it a reputation for being unstoppable. Equipped with a sophisticated drive and suspension system, the Stalwart provided its crew with a smooth ride over rough terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite being able to reach nearly 40mph on open roads, controlling the Stalwart could be difficult, as each set of wheels constantly attempted to outpace the others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a genuine amphibian, the Stalwart featured watertight seals to safeguard all essential components, allowing it to transport cargo across water bodies lacking bridges or temporary crossings, emerging on the other side if the ground was firm enough to support its weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn aquatic conditions, the Stalwart Mk.2 was equipped with enhanced waterjet propulsion, achieving speeds of up to 16km\/h under optimal conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBAE SYSTEMS is a registered trademark of BAE Systems plc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"section section--default\" id=\"whatsInside\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"heading--3\"\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid grid--2-col\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item wysiwyg\"\u003ePlastic model kit, instruction sheet, paint layout sheet and decals.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Airfix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54299109491011,"sku":"A1381","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/8477\/7795\/files\/a1387_1.webp?v=1774347664","url":"https:\/\/stocktonmodeller.co.uk\/products\/airfix-1-35-alvis-fv622-stalwart-mk-2-plastic-model-kit","provider":"Stockton Modeller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
