You could try matching an Atlas RS-1 shell with their RS-4/5 frame and trucks. Then it would be a simple matter of tapering the cab a little where it meets the cruved roof section.

The trucks would be all wrong. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:RSD-1.jpg You''d have to cobble up new truck side frames and it appears the axle spacing is closer the the RSC-2 than to the RSD-4/5.

I didn't realize most of those engines ended up in Soviet Union, I thought some were used here hence I thought someone made a model.

I know it wouldn't be exact, but I was thinking "close enough" would better than doing without.
