You had to ask the scale thing didn't you?:) Well, I checked the scale with that
Lego Scale Converter and got the following dimensions:
Length: 57 studs/65.14 feet
Actual F-14 Length: 62 feet.
Wingspan (open): 46 studs/52.57 feet
Actual F-14 Span: 61 ft, 10 inches
No height yet..I'll post that tonight.
And yep that canopy problem is something we have to deal with. Could be worse,
tho...could be using those Mega Blok canopies (yuck!). I wish that the canpoues
would have more than one attachment point too..they have a tendency to usecure
themselves relatively easily. But that's life:)
