Wow. I wanted to convert an old Tamiya kit into that.

Fictional from here

just what the doctor ordered for the old DML/Dragon/Zvezda T-80U (actually a T-80UD) kits that are now very much dated and many alternative kits exist for better T-80s now.

Thank you :)

Improvised APCs - at least three of these were built in Northern Cyprus during the 1974 war.  Based on Russian ATS-59 artillery tractors, one survived in gutted condition in a field "museum" but that may have been cleared.

The last one looks like it's based on the Voroshilovets heavy artillery tractor, which dates from early WWII. It's based on the T-24 from the early 1930s...

It does look a lot like that WW2 Voroshilovets - especially in its suspension. But a shorter snout reveals it to be a Cold War AT-S 'Сундук' (Sunduk or 'Box') perhaps better known by its NVA designation - ATS-712.

Funny thing is I have an AT-S in my stash! I thought it was an ATS-59...

So much room for interpretation when you build an Odessa, Comrade

Another American - Soviet - American spin project for the highly motivated.  Probably best executed in 1/72nd, with an early DC3.
