Hi Harlan,

the Stalwart is an amphibious truck which was in use with the British Army.
The Stalwart was based on the same chassis as the Saladin and the Saracen, at last there also was a fire truck / crash tender (Salamander) on this chassis.
I know following versions of the Stalwart:

- Basic versions were Stalwart Mk.1 and Mk.2 HMLC
- Stalwart HMLC CALM / Artillery Limber
- Stalwart HMLC UBRE

Hope this info is of help (try to google the Stalwart, should be successful).
Best greetings,
Ben

PS:
HMLC = High Mobility Load Carrier
CALM = Crane Lorry Mounted
UBRE = Unit Bulk Refuelling Equipment

Since GHQ is doing a lot of retro stuff how about the following:

Vehicles:

South African Ratel 20mm and Ratel 90mm

Aircraft:

MiG 15, MiG 17, MiG 19 and MiG 21.

Mirage III

AC 130 Spectre "GunShip"

Just some food for thought for GHQ.

I concur, the Bv-206 (US Designations: M-973 and M-973A1 cargo variant, M-1065 C3 variant, M-1066 Ambulance variant, and M-1067 flatbed variant) and its armored version the BvS-210 (also called Bv-206S or BvS-206, US Designation M-973A2). Maybe a combo pack with two Bv-206, one Bv-206 ambulance, and two armed BvS-210.

Hi again,

one question @Harlan is it possible you mean the BvS-10?
I never heard about a BvS-210.
Have to say that the BvS-10 is not identical with the BV-206S, it is a similar but different vehicle. From what I know the BvS-10 is in service with the Marines of the Netherlands and the UK (the British call it Viking) so far. The BV-206S is used by lots of more countries.
Furthermore I just found out (purchased a booklet on the BV-206 series) that the Swedish Army often uses different/own designations for their BV-206 series vehicles.

Cheers Ben

Your are right. It is the BvS-10 not the BvS-210.

BvS-10 Viking - Based on the Bv-206 & Bv-206S but is larger and has a more power engine. Serves with the UK and NL.
Bv-206 Series - Is unarmored
Bv-206S Series - Is the armored version of the Bv-206. In service with FR, GM, IT, SP, SW, & US.

In that case, I would change my recommendation to seperate packs of armored and unarmored Bv-206 series and a pack of BvS-10.

Indeed!

The Leclercs are so nice. It is a shame that there are not enough other pieces of French kit from GHQ.

Leclercs here are GHQ. So much better than the "other guy's" Leclercs that I tossed out my fully painted company and replaced them with GHQs when they came out. But the VBLs (far left, in front of rest), light and heavy trucks are all still by Brand-X producers.
