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...

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

Can Russian Monster Tanks Reclaim The Battlefield From Drones?

Reminds me of the Sth African "Hairy Mary" steam-engine

Can Russian Monster Tanks Reclaim The Battlefield From Drones?

No, because they're driven by idiots, will get stuck in trees and wrecks and drones will just mass attack them into destruction.
