Looks quite good, although it’s always hard to judge a model purely on a POVRAY/LDRAW picture (ie get off your lazy *&^ and start building ;) )

About height, the model indeed looks a bit “stretched” although I’m not familiar with the original. How does it run anyway, being 3-axle and quite long?

Hats off to a wonderful model!
