Kasten track is injection-molded. And I believe that the SdKfz 251 set is
more complex than just fitting the individual links together. There are 
rubber blocks that go on, as well? I'll check to see if someone around here
has done that track recently, and would let me Xerox the instructions to
send you.

Kasten is good stuff, but almost always has sinkholes. You might as well start
filling and sanding now... :-)
