That must have been a pain when they transported these things only to then have to change over the tracks.
Lovely job on that tamiya kit and great to see because it was one of the first 1:35 scale models i ever made.
Hope it all continues well. They had to take the side skirts of too, only really for rail transport “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.” -Mark Twain
