Well, precise scale, no, but some are very close. For example, the X-Wing,
Y-Wing, Snowspeeder and Luke's Landspeeder are all within a couple of studs
of scale--which is actually fairly subjective anyway, as it's based on the
scale height of a minifig (for example, I make my Star Wars MOCs based on a
minifig height of 6'). As mentioned earlier, the Sith Infiltrator and the
Slave I are both horribly out of scale, as is the A-Wing. It looks like the
Millenium Falcon is also going to be grossly out of scale.
