Thanks for the info! I did a quick check of my B-Wing, and guess what? It is
about 45 studs long, fitting the scale! It is 4 meters longer than an X-Wing,
which comes to about 11 studs. When I built it, I wasn't even trying to scale
it properly! ;)

| (...) WooHoo! So is mine! At least by doing the 'count the studs on the picture' method. I count 46 studs for the length of my B-Wing. I too happened to scale by sheer luck. Dang! My X-Wing comes in at 58 studs. But it looks good. :-) -- Terry K -- (25 years ago, 14-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)
