                        On the track sprue - the curious round edges to the sprue at the top, are jigs to assemble the tracks for idler & drive sprocket

                          On the one hand, that looks like a good idea; on the other, don’t you have the wheels you could assemble the track around anyway?

                            At least it shows that Zvezda is thinking! Could be useful, just for painting the tracks..............

                              For link and length it would be a godsend.
                              Having just about lost the will to live doing a 250/3 with tamiya link/length , as my hands are not as flexible as they were , the link/length is harder than magictrack or similar.

                                Ah, now I see what the lugs on the sides of the sprue are for. This is even cleverer than it appeared at first, and by the looks of it, you can use the top of the sprue to assemble the whole top run of the track, not just the bits that go around the wheels. Only thing is to be careful where the glue goes
