You know, Star Wars is supposedly well researched by fans. Anyhow, there is no point to treat the subject seriously.地理堂https://www.blogger.com/profile/17266265336978806869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792623158007577237.post-43151695040207421562015-04-23T12:18:37.831-04:002015-04-23T12:18:37.831-04:00Please note that the MPC or Revell’s Star Wars ser...Please note that the MPC or Revell’s Star Wars series kits are all not in a consistent scale. Each kit scale varies from one another and that’s why modelers are feeling frustrated. So comparing the M Falcon for measurement might not be valid.<br />But I get your point about the shuttle cockpit size.

The model cockpit only fits in two persons. And yes, the reference is only a description of the size, hardly be precise but a decision has to be made in order to proceed. One factor I considered is a comparison with Millennium Falcon. 1:72 for Revell's kit will be very big compared with the 1:144 MF.地理堂https://www.blogger.com/profile/17266265336978806869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792623158007577237.post-8135738765698565262015-04-23T11:09:56.499-04:002015-04-23T11:09:56.499-04:00Thanks.

There is reference on the length of the spacecraft, and this is how I got the 0.75 scale down factor.地理堂https://www.blogger.com/profile/17266265336978806869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792623158007577237.post-15787278082775351522015-04-23T09:55:05.792-04:002015-04-23T09:55:05.792-04:00Revell’s shuttle bears no scale and people say bas...Revell’s shuttle bears no scale and people say basing on its two pilots the whole vehicle seems to be around 1/72. If yours is 1/144, the wings’ length should be half of the Revell’s. However yours seems 3/4 of it. So what is your source or base of measurements? Anyway, a good build. :)Gwainoreply@blogger.com
