Another Zvezda conversion, this time in the assumption that the half track they listed a couple of years ago will not appear … (Zis-22 conversion amongst other winter gear … PP figures, QRF aerosans, Zvezda fighter) Scratchbuilt tracks and ski sabots, cut out windows (and added tilted windscreen) plus Milliput jacket over the engine … (painted as usual with Vallejo acrylics over a black Humbrol enamel undercoat) I have modelled it with bed empty for versatility (troop carrier/log/tow/AA mount …) … (model and contemporary photo … a reasonable match?) A bit tricky but an interesting variation on the 'Zis truck' theme … Phil P.B.Eye-Candy

I've been enjoying the little zvezda 1:100 kits. You did a great job approximating that picture.

Beautiful! Of course no one in his right mind would voluntarily open his tilt windscreen in conditions requiring skis and snow chains :)

… there's certainly not much photographic evidence for it 7dot62mm (maybe it is jammed open?) … Thanks for the comments and clicks … Phil

Ah yes, that explains it :) And it looks just great.
