Alvis Has Left The Biulding and Come Back!

Like Wote's Clifford Alvis posted yesterday, Alvis-style vehicles are old favourites on the blog. In no particular order I've selected a few from the archives. Back in Autumn 2009 we featured some custom box art for a SWORD Super Tank based on a cheap plastic toy found in local discount shops [above].
An old friend of mine, we've had the Airfix troop carrier, above, on here a number of times. It'd be great to do a feature on all the old pre-built Airfix military vehicles if anyone can help?
Also back in 09 we had a great time looking into the two land vehicles which featured in Joe 90. First up was the A14 showcased on this old Arrow Films case. Toad, ever helpful, at the time supplied me with two neat video clips as well: the A14 and the other vehicle, the U59, which you can enjoy once again below.
Where there any other Alvis-style TV vehicles [UFO? Thunderbirds? Sci Fi films] or toys?

  1. THe Airfix pre-built polythene military vehicles appeared in two scales, 1;32, and a smaller set (probably slightly earlier in date, going from memory) which was supposed to be 1:72-1:76 ish -but some pieces were slightly larger scale.
