Im not sure why this beast popped into my head , but I love this truck dearly, I had the old Airfix toy version , but now Im modelling again I wondered if theres an accurate kit of the stolly. If there is then I know what my entry to the cold war GB will be[8D].
Anyone have any ideas?
ive seen one in 1/76th I think? but ill have to check on who makes it
Well I found one , unfortunately its out of my league price wise at £84 [:(!] and there wasnt a picture either… the search goes on lol

some nice looking british vehicles tho if you have the cash
You might try here I believe they are mostly 1/76 cause they carrie a lot of conversion stuff for Airfix but its worth a try.http://www.scalelink.co.uk/acatalog/Conversion_Kits_1_76__Airfix___Matchbox_Originals_.html
No 1/76 stollys there cplchilly but its a nice site tho.
I guess Im finding out about the scarcity of British Armour kits. Id better start saving my pennies I guess. Resin aint cheap but as its pretty much the only way of getting what I want…
The weird thing is now Ive found out British armour is either not popular enough to market mass produced kits or is overlooked by kit manufacturers , it makes me feel overly patriotic and I now want to collect only British armour. Thatll show them.probably..... it wont tho will it. Damnit now I want a Saracen and a Saladin and a Samaritan and a Pig and and and oohh everything really. But I know Ill end up settling for the only Brit stuff available or building the next new just out gotta love me german tank which weve only been able to find in all scales by most manufacturers before.
Its enough to make me wanna build a plane.
A British plane mind you.
Rant over toodle pip old bean
If you want modern british armour you are going to have to spend spend spend, http://www.accurate-armour.com/ do an excellent range, in resin though and expensive. Try shopping on E Bay thats where I get most of my British Armour
