Well, I looked at quite a few pictures of starfurys before and after I made
mine. And it is fairly close to being exactly to minifig scale. In fact,
the wings are almost on the exact angle of those in the show. The only
thing that is out of scale is the cockpit. The ejecting cockpit in the show
would be the equivalent of two-three studs long. Obviously this is to small
to be practical, and mine ended up being five (the TIE cockpit was 3 studs
long).

They were a last minute addition when I realised that I had nothing else
even close to the starfury engines.

I actually have a much better version of my starfury that I'll have up in a
few days. It's going to be an omega squadron starfury, and I made the omega
sign by using a patter like this:
xx
x x
x x
x x
x x
xx xx
Which is much closer to being a circle in lego form :).
Also in my better version, the whole ship is nowhere near as boxy. And it
has far less same height surfaces on it.
