OK.  Then why was the 40% too small scale used: in ESB when the Falcon is being
chased by TIEs, in ROTJ when the Falcon and Luke's X-wing leaves Tattooine, and
in the dog fighting scence durring the Battle of Endor.  (Basically
everytime the outside of the ship is shown flying.) Lego's Falcon is near
perfect external scale compared to their X-wing.
