Great review Darren, many thanks for adding it to the list here!
This is such a tough looking rig, the Soviets certainly have a knack for designing with "brute force" in mind!
As you said in your conclusion, disappointing that the cab doors and storage boxes are moulded closed, but definitely a good basis and scope there for those of us with a mind to break out the razor saw and dig in.
Cheers, D
