I would imagine like most of their newer armored vehicle offerings it has both link and length and rubber band tracks. The JSU-152, Elefant, and Jagdtiger were all like this.

What I would like to know is if it will come with the ammo that is shown being displayed in the photos. My guess is that per Tamiya's usual strategy it will be sold as an accessory.

link and length is a better way
