A part of hobby long neglected - model making

My son bought me a model kit for Christmas (consequence of our Tank Museum jaunt no doubt) it being a Tamiya 1/48th scale King Tiger 'Production Turret'.

Been donkeys ages since I built any scale model but did build several Tamiya vehicle kits (generally 1/35th scale) in my youth before wargaming came to the fore, which then saw a burst of 1/76th and 1/72nd scale kits of the Airfix, Fujima, Hasegawa and suchlike varieties (acquisition of metals in 6mm and 15mm killed this phase).

So opened box and was confronted with usual plastic sprues and instruction sheets.

Managed to build 99% of kit without problems but must confess the multi-part tracks (used to rubber versions) have me stumped at present but hopefully will sort and then can get to painting (another neglected hobby aspect)

Overall a nicely detailed kit and had forgotten how therapeutic building models can be
