Here is the link to a site with preview shots, in russian but the pics say more than words. I'm a bit worried by the tyre tread which is symmetrical and should be interleaved? If the tyres are one piece, this could be a problem. Other than that, it looks really, really nice

Looks like the tires are wrong. The tread should be alternating (interleaved). Based on the below pic, they look like one-piece moldings. You can see the place where they were cut off the sprue. Also, all the tires look the same and all have the tread aligned as opposed to alternating.
The rest of the model look good though.

Certainly looks like they dropped the ball on those tires.
Shame, but I'm sure the resin dudes are already hard at work.
