Mark, you'll have to excuse my ignorance, but what is MOC? It also sounds
like to me that you think the X-Wing is too small. Did TLG get any close? I
think the Y-Wing is fairly accurate as is the snowspeeder. I would have to
say that the Naboo fighter is also close.
Although I agree that Lego will not change in making sets to what they want,
not to scale, but it would be nice if scale was their first priority.
