Look fine to me, plausible and neatly done.

I'd be tempted to paint the rear deck and sides wood colour, make them stand out more.

I can vouch-safe for Vodkafan's work, it is even better 'in the flesh'.
I am the proud owner of such a kit-bash, and hope to use it against him when he raises some Fascist scum.

Great work James! It looks perfectly Russian to me and i couldn´t tell at first glance that it is not the exact replica ot the prototype.

That's a cracker! Looks the job to me. I see a thousand Rubicon kits being purchased just for the extra sets of running gear.

? The running gear is from a HAT 1/72 T34 that I had lying around in the spares box.

I'm thinking of the 28mm brigade wanting to do something similar.
