Building this kits individual tracks, link by link, is too much of a burden. Before I put the rest of the kit that I have already built back into it’s box and on the shelf “forever” I need to ask if anyone knows of a) another tank kit whose tracks (rubber tracks) could be cannabilized and used on this particular kit? Perhaps this one is due for the backyard diorama to be bombarded by firecrackers and lighter fluid.

I believe the tracks are unique to this kit. I too have it on the forever shelf; partially built/partially destroyed. Quite a few years ago, I had brought the in-progress kit to a club meeting. The hull was basically completed along with PE fenders and other PE parts.
A new-to-the-club returning modeler saw the unpainted white plastic kit with brass fenders sitting in the bottom of the kit box on the table. He promptly grabbed it like it was made of diecast metal, the fenders broke off and the kit crashed to the floor sending both plastic and PE parts scattering.
The kit went back into the box along with whatever parts we could find. I didn’t have the motivation to try to repair or rebuild it.
When I built this kit, I tried to locate different tracks for it without success. Those tracks are a bear. Here is what my finished product looked like.
