I recall adding things up a couple years ago and finding that a 136' ship is too big to match the 1:1 soundstage cockpit sets.
IMO those cockpit sets are the most crucial interlock of the interior & exterior sets. Cockpits are usually the best place to find a match in general. But in the Falcon's case the cockpit also gets a ton of close-quarters screen time. And aside from that depth addition in ESB it didn't get changed very much over the course of 3 movies.
So, take the ILM 5ft model and scale it up until the cockpit sets fit right. Whatever that is, it's the closest to a correct scale we can get IMO. I can't recall the number now but I think it was more like 114' than 136'.
The rest of the soundstage interiors probably won't fit quite right that way. But those are not entirely reconcilable with the exterior not matter what size you pick. If they're close then I say go with it. The only other option is to change the exterior's proportions.
