More speculation:
Where's the other half of the radar dish? And what's that gray stuff below
the 'A' in Falcon? Maybe there's an open hatch being shown there which hides
half the radar.
The hull doesn't look to me like it's made with the UFO hull pieces.
The radar looks webbed to me, which would make it 6x6. And the cockpit looks
like it is about the same size as the radar dish, making it 6 studs wide,
which may indicate only one pilot (though it's theoretically possible to fit 2
side by side w/in 6 studs like the landspeeder.)
I'm guessing about 24 studs across for the saucer.
Sure would be nice to have a better picture. . . But then again it's fun to
speculate :)
