I'm shopping Spade Ace tracks for Tamiya's JS-2 and running into some issues. Mainly, Spade Ace only lists all the (possibly) applicable tracks as being for the KV, yet one box-top pic (SAT-35024) is of the JS-2, the other that I think would be suitable, SAT-35025, is of the KV, yet appears to be the more common split-link type.
Help? I think the split-link type would be more common to the JS-2, and more suitable for Tamiya's model in particular, but can other sets be used? In fact, that's what Tamiya includes in the kit. Heck, I have a set of Friul ATL-10s in the stash, which sure look like the JS-2 tracks, except for the fact that all links have guide horns.
Forgive me if I'm asking the obvious, Soviet armor is a bit out of my realm, and thanks in advance.

Most excellent! That surely covers the Friul offerings, and I may be able to figure out the Spade Ace offerings from that.
Thanks!
