Impressive statistics...but if a model looses its "swooshability" around 2-3
feet in length, I would imagine that much over 6-8 feet it looses some of it's
"minature coolness".
Thats just my thoughts...If he can stick in a few minifigs, it makes minifig
scale in my book. What I really want to see is a squad of black tiger fighters
stored inside (yes, it carried fighters) but that would probably require the
additional 24 feet or so.

PS. Geesh your Takao was 13' well that blows the minature coolness theory.
