Thank you Carlos & Stuart!

Decided to start with the tracks.

While I find Airfix Cromwell a mighty fine kit, I cannot say the same of the tracks. What I thought would be a rather straight forward process, took much longer I had planned or had actually time with.
One side is finally done.

Below how it looked like after 30 minutes of struggle and eventually I spent another 30 minutes with the remaining part.

Vinyl tracks? Individual tracks?

Thanks Stuart, they are kit tracks.

The kit actually came with both vinyl and individual tracks, with a few longer sections.

Work on the other side ongoing, the individual track sections attached on a piece of Tamiya tape.

What fun! It took me 2 weeks to do track links on my Stuart "Honey" tank. I actually enjoyed it as long as I don't rush on it.

Those kits with link & length tracks are the preferred option in my experience.
