Incorrect. Q(-M378) is the sister haplogroup of R & "...connected with migrations of ancestral populations of the Indo-European language family."

Kalash are not Iranic. They are Dardic, which is a subset of Indo-Aryan. And the group in question, Scythians, may have indeed looked similar to them(as well as Pamirs, Yagnobis, Burusho, Hunza, Nuristani, etc.) but for the most they are not really all that depigmented as some pictures make them out to be. Many pictures are photoshopped and the vast majority look like Mountain Indid people with just relatively lighter coloring but nowhere near the pseudo Nordic vibes presented in some images.
These reconstructions you using as evidence aren't valid. They were made by Gerasimov himself when he was still developing his methods. Many, if not all, were influenced by dominating views on ancestry of people in question.
For example reconstruction of Andrey Bogolubskiy done by Gerasimov shows a heavily Mongoloid influenced person while modern reconstruction leaves no room for any Mongoloid traits at all

It was noted in some works Gerasimov would deliberately alter his reconstructions to fit in current views and be accepted. In case of Bogolubskiy alterations were made based on information of his mother being Cuman princess so everyone expected her to be of Mongoloid stock. In reality even late Cumans were predominantly Europoid with light features.
I'm in good mood today:)

You must note that those views were fully confirmed by modern genetics.
So if old chronicle tells you that some people were blond, trust it! Sooner or later it will confirmed by autosomal...

Scythians looked nothing like any day modern isolated groups in Afghanistan or Pakistan. These people are all heavily admixed with Negrito and neolithic Iran natives.
Altai/Kazakh Scythians were Andronovo/Sintashta(so East Ukrainian like)+ Mongoloid, Tatars, Chuvash and Mari would be the best proxy for what they looked like.
