The workable tracks were a major pain to assemble. In fact, I stopped building them once I discovered that with the dust guards installed I would only need 60% of the links. The pins pressed through very small holes to connected the links, but the thickness of the plastic is so small that one or two flexes of the link and the plastic wall fails, rendering the pin useless. I wish Border had included rubber band tracks as an option. Other than that, the kit goes together very well. I've not built much British armor over the years (Tamiya Matilda II circa 1970's) and wanted something to complement my various Panzers painted in Africa Korps colors.
