How many track links per side for a Tiger I initial?

Working on a set of Magic Tracks from the Dragon 3 n 1 Initial, and the instructions don't have a thing. Looking to assemble the tracks now so I can paint them.

I can't tell you the amount of tracks per side, but I can tell you how I built my tracks off of the tank! Use the jig for the idler and sprocket wheel tracks. Make sure you have one row of guide horns pressing against the inside of the jigs to ensure proper alignment. As for the top and bottom pieces, build 10 at a time set them against the wheels, well more like alongside the wheels as you go, you'll figure out how many you need as you go along. It really is pretty easy

The modelkasten set I'm just building have 99 on one side and 100 on the other according to the instruction sheet. I haven't tried them for size yet...

Hmmm. Could be interesting...

I'll proceed with building up the rest and wait on the tracks to do the individual small groups.
