Is it possible? As long as i see it ... the problem is only with the barrel and the sponsons. And as long as i can imagine making the barrell out of green stuff , i can't imagine how to make those sponson plasma guns
Maybe there's a kit , or a guide out there? Advice from experienced modellers will be very welcome too

well, it's quite...simple?
just find 2 plasma guns, best are those from space marines. cut heavy bolters from sponsons, leaving piece of plastic so you can glue the plasma. take those plasmas, cut them in right place so it'll fit your view of this conversion, and glue it to the sponson. fill the holes with GS - and done.
man, it's a simple weapon swap...

Simple doesn't always look good. I hate the way the heavy bolter sticks out. But yeah, weapon swap on the sponsoons. Not quite sure how to tackle the barrel. Hack most of it off, and green stuff around it.
The one problem is the costs of the items to do this swap might cost you the amount difference between the russ and demolisher. Besides, the demolisher comes with some fancy engine plate.

And do not forget that the turret on a demolisher is also wider by about 4mm on each of the fore end sides to accomidate the recoil tubes on either side of the barrel.

I got hold of a spare Hell Hammer cannon from a Baneblade kit and used that as a demolisher gun. Everyone wil know it counts as a demolisher gun in a non-apoc game and I think the gun itself looks really good.
I lenghthened the Leman russ hull with a bit of spare Baneblade and broadened the hull by doubling up the tracks and making my own mudguards.
the model has been enlarged substantially and is almost unrecognisable as a Russ.
Lastly I mounted the main armament in the front of the hull and put the lascannon in a chimera turret to try and kep it low profile.
Lastly a urban cam paint job based on the British Berlin Brigade of the 80's.

I used grenade launcher and the HBs that came with the LRBT to make some multi-meltas that actually turned out REALLY well.
