I'm going to amend my own message here, since I just bothered to get out the
size comparison portion of the BTM Cd. It lists the lengths, in meters, of the
ships as follows: SLAVE I - 21.5, Y-Wing - 16, X-Wing - 12.5, A-Wing - 9.5.
So I was off saying the A-Wing was half the length of the X, but still, I think
TLG's model is fairly accurate, at least when compared to the tiny model of the
Slave I.
