Nice job Noel.

Hi Noel, I like your models, how did you do the british flag? Thanks, Randy

hi Patrick thanks for the kind words, the Saracen is slowly coming along having sacrificed the Saladin for its wheels because the Sarecen's paint job was better. the Saracen was the old Dartmoor kit that i had rebuilt from the spares box and it was the first project i had really undertaken for many years, i had built kits out of the box but not from the scrap pile. the Saladin was nice when it was in green and black but when i turned it to UN white it was horrible. the Saracen however had the right look though and as i now have a decent compresor and air brush it is going in leaps and bounds. cheers Noel

hi Randy thanks for the support mate , the flags i got off the Accurate Armour web site and it was a quite simple if a slightly tricky job of rolling them into an elongated cone onto one of Accurates antennas. i did ruin one flag though so some caution is needed. cheers Noel

Nice job Noel. I just picked up a saladin for my dad. I will tell him to check out your good work. - Bobby

Hi Bobby glad you like them, they are not as popular as some kit's but i think they have bags of character.......cheers noel

I agree Noel. - Bobby
