ET Model tracks - very nice and easy to put together with some double-sided tape to keep each one in place while inserting the pre-cut copper wire.
Update: The tracks come in two separate packages - left and right - and the first side went together really well with no issues.
However, the other side has experienced several breakages with the centre lugs where the copper wire passes through.
Assembly is fine, but the lugs break as soon as the links experience some movement. Doesn't happen with all the links, but having 4 on only one side seems unusual.
Update: After contacting ET Models to let them know about the issues I experienced, they confirmed it seemed to be a one-off problem and sent a set of replacement links. Their communication and customer support has been excellent.

Beautiful work! Particularly like all the work on the turret interior. Any thoughts on the kit?

Thanks all, appreciate the comments. The Border kit was quite basic and quality about mid-range - not to the level of RFM or Takom but reasonably decent.
