Out of curiosity, where are you getting your numbers from? According to the SW
site, the falcon is 27 meters long, which translates into about 88.5 feet,
which should be 620mm long as a minifig scale model (1 minifig foot ~ 7mm,
given that a minifig is about 42mm tall), or about 77.5 studs long (1 stud ~
8mm). Granted I forget how large the UFO 1/4 circles are, but in order to be
accurate, they'd need to be 28 studs long per 1/4 circle. I don't think they're
that big... maybe 16 at the largest? I think that's even overestimating... I'll
have to see... but assuming they're 16 studs, that puts the TLC falcon at about
53 studs long-- about 2/3 the 'correct' length... Assuming 53 studs was
accurate, that'd put the Falcon at about 18 meters long?
On the other hand, I do recall that the TLC system X-Wing was just about
accurate... and the snowspeeder and speeder bikes were just a bit too big! (the
speeder bike was actually about twice as long I think... I forget offhand)
