Title: X-wing question: what size is the Millennium Falcon?
Post by: Vanvlak on 26 February 2016, 05:05:35 PM: I guess the thread title sums it up succinctly.
Help, please? How long is it?
I'd appreciate knowing the base size (the larger base, right?) too.
Thanks in advance.

Base size is 82mm square.
Falcon is about 130mm front to back and about 98mm across.

Thank you, very kind of you. :D
I just bought the Revell 1:241 scale Falcon from Amazon (UK) as it was on a special offer - £1.90 or thereabouts, as long as you spent at least £20 on other products. It so happened I needed to order a 4-volume book set (The Bandits of the Marsh), so....

It's a little small, measuring 110mm by 80mm, but I could live with that I think...

Post by: pocoloco on 26 February 2016, 07:19:55 PM: I have two of those smaller Falcons, hope to convert them into one... haven't yet figured what type of YT variant it will be though o_o

Most likely choice currently is some kind of variation of YT-1000, YT-1200, YT-1210 or thereabouts but I think I will have to leave the engines as they are with my skills.

Post by: Mason on 26 February 2016, 07:33:32 PM: Bearing in mind the above information the Falcon is very much out of scale with the 'smaller' ships...

...exactly what scale is the 'official' Falcon?

Yes but he has very cleverly taken into account the ratio of the size difference between models and used that as a multiplier for the 12 parsecs which, to the nearest whole number is 14. Well done sir! :D

Same here: I've got one conversion almost done: a YT-2400. According to the Haynes user manual the size is actually spot on for the YT-2400!
