Here's a little teaser, boxart from a 1/35 model kit showing PLA ZTZ99A rolling through San Francisco with the Golden Gate bridge in the background: https://armorama.com/upload/media/entries/2022-01/31/1924-entry-0-1643658676.jpg

spoiler: the story is that an Alien Invasion happens and the world unites to fight them lol

The model looks nice, but do they have it in 1:87?

That's one thing that always annoyed me about model hobbies. The railway people tend to use completely different scales than the vehicle and plane people; you can't build a cohesive world.

1:48 and 1:64 are almost common, but the trains tend to be crude "vintage toys" rather than modern precision models. Don't even get me started on 1:32.
