I have just returned from Noels today , with some update photos of my KT . Noel still has about three stages to go on her , more weathering plus all the running gear to be done . I'm very happy with the look so far !! ...Dale

This is Dave , Noels friend

Yes looks nice... I like where the spare track links have rattled on the turret and created a rusty mark pretty

I would love to know how Noel achieves that faded look in his weathering. He's a master painter. Pity to drive this.

Hi Dale

First class paint job by Noel on a first class build. I'm waiting for the final photos though because I know with Noel, it could change between now and then.

You must be very happy
kind regards
Tim

I'd love to know how many hours it took to get to that stage - and how many years it took Noel to develop his technique

Hi Adrian .. Noel has had my KT for four months He paints to a stage , then checks out his history books for a while then comes back to add more then he has a rest for a week , then back to it . Noel is going to add some kill rings to the barrel . This week he is working from the panniers down then the running gear. All of Noels 1/35 scale models are as good as this . He has been building and painting models for over 45yrs . Dale

Thanks Dale.

> He has been building and painting models for over 45yrs

And I hope he won't mind me saying that it shows
