Adrain Drove up from Sydney last night to pick up his 88 from Noel who has been painting and weather her for the last few months .Adrian has built this straight out of the box no mods and Noel has done his magic ..w We where both blown away as soon as we walk through the door and layed our eyes on it for the first time .... Dale
In all seriousness....Love the choice of camo pattern and it goes without saying, the weathering is amazing. Will there be a half track with the same paint job? What a combo that would make.
Regards
Tim

Hi Brian ... Noel has been at the top of the 1/35 armor game for over 40 years . I have seen his collection of finished models .. Noels models are among the best in the world ... Plus he knows everything about there history of each one ....Noel has painted my Early tiger and Sherman ,later he will do my king tiger and PZIII Adrians 88 also Adrain is having his Tiger , Panther , King tiger done . Tim is having his late tiger done . And I think David Mc Connell was having his Mid tiger done as well .. Us Aussie are very lucky to have him ...Dale
HOW GOOD IS THAT. Noel is the undisputed king of the air brush "down under". Keep your eyes open for the the next edition of ModelArt Magazine, I did part 3 due out on December 22 which features the Armortek electronics, motion pack and sound features plus an article on how Noel prepares, paints and weathers his models. Not to be missed!!!
Adrian, this 88 is so good. I think on the dining table is where it should go, no more arguments!
Wow that is really cool! I've said it once, I'll say it again - amazing what a great paint job will do for a stock "out-of-the-box" model. That is incredible. That baby looks mean and nasty from any angle. Same credit has to go to Armortek for a great model.
Dale, I will be shipping all my models to you to build and detail, and for Noel to paint as well. Just letting you know in advance.

Good idea Bob ... Maybe the armortek owners in the U.S put in a few dollars together and fly him over and put him up for a few months .... then he can go to the U.K ......just kidding !!!! ..Dale
Hi Dale,
Just like you and Adrian (maybe some others), I was blown away too when seeing this incredible painted 88 by Noel---even it's not firing yet!!!
Cheers,
