Here are my calculations of the ideal -v- actuall dimentions of the A-Wing.
They are based on a length of 9.5 meters, 2.86 studs/meter, and the schematics
available on www.starwars.com .

Let's compare it to mine!  Weee!

Total Length
Lucas:  27 studs  TLG:  22 studs

Jeff:  25 studs

Wingspan (not including guns)
Lucas:  17 studs  TLG:  12 studs

Jeff:  14 studs

Wingspan (including guns)
Lucas:  21.3 studs  TLG:  16 studs

Jeff:  18 studs

Width of red area in middle
Lucas:  6 studs  TLG:  4 studs

Jeff:  6 studs (back part is 4, like in the "real" one)

Length of fuselage fore of the engines
Lucas:  15.5 studs  TLG:  15 studs

Jeff:  14 studs

Length of engines
Lucas:  11.5 studs incl. thrust vector control  TLG:  6.5 w/o thrust vector
control

Jeff:  11 studs incl. thrust vector control

Length of fuselage between the engines
Lucas: 7 studs  TLG:  4 studs

Jeff:  4 studs

Height of fuselage (not incl. cockpit)
Lucas: 3.55 studs  TLG:  3.6 studs

Jeff:  4 studs

Height of fuselage (incl. cockpit)
Lucas: 5.1 studs  TLG:  5.6 studs

Jeff:  6 studs

Not too shabby for the most part.  :)  Oh, and don't forget that TLG's B-Wing
is also too small (by ten studs).

Like I said, I'll be getting lots of these, but I'll be making plenty of
modifications.  Anyone have a good idea for getting the notch in the front?
How about for the thrust vector controls?

Check mine out at LDraw.org's Model of the Month Contest, or download the .dat
here: < http://www.lugnet.com/cad/dat/models/?n=12 >.  I've done both of these
things (thrust vector controls can't turn tho).
