Trumpeter Track Problem

Modeling Subjects Armor

I’m constructing a 1/72 Japanese Type 74 MBT by Trumpeter.So far it is a well detailed kit and goes together quite well.The tracks however are WAY,WAY,WAY too long.I find it inconceivable that a company could produce such a nice kit but totally screw up the tracks.Before I hack them apart,does anybody have any solutions?Are other track sets available for this kit?

Thanks

Too long tracks, and too tight tracks, have been a common trait in current 1/72 scale armor kits. Dragon made their Elefant and Ferdinand tracks too long and their Sturmpanzer Tiger and Panther tracks too short.

I do not believe there are any replacement tracks for the Type 74 or any other Trumpeter 1/72 scale armor kit.
