It does look really nice in most ways, but regarding stuff like the gantry etc, there are several 'scale' issues with this model anyway.
Look at the size of the pod, then look at the little office door that's inside...
Even if you imagine someone of average size, that would make the pod around 400 ft in length, and TB2 about 800 - 900 ft long.
However - I still hope it hits the UK.
