I do like the sets with chains on the tracks. I don’t recall this ever being released by anyone, no doubt pretty difficult to do with standard resin or PE and well suited to 3D printing.
No doubt SOL will release similar sets in 1/16 when AHHQ’s kit gets released.

While the HT set looks nicely printed, it fails to correctly show how the chains look when fitted on these wheels. The long chain around the wheel wall, which connects the transverse chain sections, makes here a perfect roundel, when in fact it should be in several straight sections, showing the tension when linking the shorter chains between. Most aftermarket chain wheels sets depict wrongly this detail too, but at least Royal Model, Pimp, etc, show it correctly in their similar M8/M20 sets, along with a more natural, loosened look. Being 3D printed, I’m sure Sol could easily correct this.
