D'oh! I'm not really familiar with the Adventurer's line, but I do have the
landspeeder :)

So at 7 studs minimum across for a two-seater cockpit X 5 = 35 studs across.
I threw together a quick mock-up of what such a beast might look like. I
created a 15 X 15 quarter hull and a 7 stud wide cockpit piece. The cockpit
definitely stands out as too wide compared to pics of the MF, but as a Lego
model might work. LMKWYT.
