Hey all. I've run into a few conflicting numbers surrounding the official length of the Y-Wing. I am 3D printing a 1/48 Y-Wing because Bandai didn't do one, and I want to get the scale correct.
The official Star Wars databank says that the Y-Wing is 77' long. This works out to be 19.25" long for a 1/48 model tip to tip. The Wookiepedia article, however, states that the Y-Wing is 53' 3" long. This works out to be about 13.3" long.
However, I dug my 1/48 R2-D2 out of my Bandai X-Wing kit and measured the diameter of his dome, and it's 8.9mm across. Scaled in proportion to the rest of the ship, that makes it 18.2" tip to tip.
So my question is, which one is the correct length for a 1/48 Y-Wing model? How long are the "1/24" models? Anybody know? (And I put 1/24 in quotes because the scale was based off of the Airfix pilot they used for shooting).
Anyway. If somebody wants to check my math, that'd be great. Just want to get it right.
