Just thought I'd send my version of the fix for the length problem on the Trumpeter 1/16 T34. Use a razor saw, cut opposing edges off tracks and superglue back together. This will work for photographic purposes only, I wouldn't be pushing the model around too much. Also this fix does not mesh with drive sprocket.
This to me is the only way to make the track links look right, until Trumpeter come up with an upgrade LOL :-)

Hmm , pretty this Track links from metal , are but it is proper to plastic T34 such to found ??? I judge that RC are useful rather to models ...Just and price ...I made from resin such as on picture ...I have hope that to they are visible details .. My they are about many cheaper and estimate myself effect ..

I did the same thing in the past with some Tamiya kits (T-34, SU-85) in which I used the Maquette individual links. You just have to make sure that you kind of hide it near a road wheel so that folks don't notice there is a guide tooth missing from two links in a row.
