Tracks attached. These were link and length and were again fairly easy to attach. The links were too big to fit together so i sanded them while still on the sprue. The geometry isn't perfect but fenders hide the bad looking parts.

Those white markings look to be the same, although the tank in the picture is missing the yellow band on the gun barrel. I assume it's a Ukrainian tank then. Many thanks for the information, Oleg!
