How about pinned ind. track links included in kits so that you'd get the
articulation advantage of metal w/o the added cost. If they can mold white
metal with the necessary holes, it must be possible with injection molded
plastic.

The standard inclusion of a turned metal barrel would be a nice touch as
well, as would be at least a basic interior. (Academy seems to be ahead of
things in this area.)

Last but not least, resin commander figure included with separate head.
