Hey Rich,
No idea on that, I know I couldn't. Maybe someone can ask Fruil or that the kits sells enough that they jump in. My Xion Kettenkrad links are metal with plastic drive sprocket and it works fine.
The best I could pull off would be industrial resin, but I think with the number of connection points, the kit pieces are as sturdy or better than HL Pz III/IV links. In terms of wearing from abrasion, I don't think there's going to be enough weight to cause any unless you're running on rough concrete or something. I drybrushed the plastic WSN links with Vallejo oily steel, then coat with resin and pigment for mud and that finish will last a long time on dirt and grass before it wears to plastic.
