Eventually managed to get some Humbrol 'cement' type glue (with rather pungent fumes) to complete the 1/48th King Tiger build, with the affixing of those bloody fiddly track sections.
As such glue is slower to dry/bond than super glue types this allowed required realigning and pushing to and fro of said sections.
So now its onto a paint job for the beast in due course.

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
