I want to try Trumpeter's KV/JS track links set 02042 on an ISU-152. Squadron has them on sale now, for just thirteen dollars, considerably less than a Friul or Modelkasten set, assuming they'll fit on a Zveroboy. Can anyone tell me anything about these tracks? Thanks!

Picked up a set to add to a battle damaged Zvezda KV 2, had to thin the teeth on the sprocket to get a good fit. You might not have that problem .
The tracks go together well using an included template to build ten links at a time .Be carefull with the track pins , maybe add a small touch of liquid glue , some pins seemed not to click into place ( maybe its just me ) . Base coated with Humbrol enamel , looking good so far .
