I think you'd be better rebuilding the body with plasticard, both for strength and appearance - card is cheap but not long-lasting, may warp when you paint it and when painted will give a different finish than the plastic parts you've used.

I think the issue with the embiggenated humvee is the cab. It's way too tall. A guardsman could stand full monty in one of those windows. The cab and windows are tall like a Land Rover while Hummers are far more narrow. If you cut a full third off of the height, I think you'd have a far better-looking ride:

Photochop'd:



Personally, I would chop it even more than I did in the retouch, but I only took a couple minutes to illustrate my point.

The humvee/chimera looks much better with the lower profile (the new modifications you've done to it). Sure, it's slightly larger scale than an actual humvee would be next to a Russ, but since it's being used as a chimera, I think it's the perfect size. Nicely done.
