Not to my knowledge, but if you want to check yourself go to
www.yojoe.com
They have the best photo archive that I have seen. All vehicles from 82 to now. You might find something that would work as a base. I hope that helps.

Hmmm, most everything "snow" themed for Joe was tracked or wheeled in some way, and had maybe skis on it in the front but that was it.
For a base, I'm sure boat hulls would somewhat resemble that... Ski pieces are findable on Joe vehicles too like their snowmobile and things. If you're looking to build it that is...
Given the shape of that though Aferg, I could see it being done by scratch (maybe finding ski's for it in a GIJ vehicle parts auction) relatively easy. The shapes/angles on that 2nd item aren't too complex.
Never saw those before but that's some interesting hardware... Clever for those Commies.
Looks like an Expanded Universe Star Wars vehicle called the Storm Skimmer actually, haha... It's a Tandem thing like that first picture, opened cockpits and all. Pretty funny.

i agree.....not too hard to scratchbuild but i just thought if a short cut was available using a Joe vehicle i'd take it. Sure looks like something Hasbro would have come up with for their Joe line to me...
Interesting little vehicles for sure though..

Nope. But you could very easily make them from existing Joe parts.

Slight problem, Aferg. Easy to scratchbuild, but you need some Russians to utilize it. Or, does Mr. Aferg have some Russians up his sleeves......

Those little things are pretty cool. I would like to have one next to a Kettenkrad some day.

my formula for Russian soldiers: one XD german officer torso (heavily modified) and german soldier lets or one GI Joe Big Ben figure (heavily modified...to make the Russian 'padded' uniform that was issued in '43) plus GI Joe Whiteout head (fur hat) or GI Joe Marine commemorative keychain head (helmet looks very russian) plus dragon 1/16 PPHS machine guns (from 'german weapons' accessory pack).
They are a bit of work but you can do it..
