Oh yeh!  Saracen to follow the Stalwart! Going to have to get both although doing a whiff job on either would seem more than a little sacrilegious…  ;)

And, hidden amongst all that lot, part of the repop with extra parts releases
Stalwart update with the Limber Jib fittings  :smiley:



Now I have a reason to get an Airfix Stalwart to complement the Accurate Armour offering

Not too shabby!  :smiley:

Particularly;

1/48 Phantom FG.1 (I'd like to do this as a RAN version - but I have an F-4E already ... Decisions! Decisions!)
1/48 Fairey Gannet AS.1/AS.4 (has RAN markings, unlike the first issue, which I already have - so I really just need the decals)
1/48 SEPECAT Jaguar T.2 & T.4 (possibly do it, along with my Jag GR.1, as an Austraian Army equivalent of my RAN TA-7G/A-7E strike combo)
1/35 Alvis Stalwart Mk.2 Limber (possibly - I already own 2 of the 1st release, so do I really need another Stolly?)
1/35 Alvis FV603 Saracen Mk.5 (interesting but unlikely to buy)



Please note these choices need to be made in the knowledge that SWMBO has now seen the full extent of the Wombat Stash™ & has threatened violence if I do not make serious attempts to reduce its size.

Alternatively, might well-camouflaged Wombat Sub-Stash™ caches be a solution for future expansion?

Kit boxes only or has the full aftermarket/accessories extravaganza been exposed as well  :o

Unfortunately she is aware of the sub-stashes, as well.

Yup, the lot!

Mind you, she's been able to see the resin all along (especially the 1/350 ship parts & 1/35 helicopter bits), as I keep it in the modelling room (where the temperature is more stable) on shelves.
