Pretty darned close. The 150m raider at 1:270 scale would be 21.7 inches (55cm) and this model ( Revell/Zevezda) is 23.5 inches 60cm. The smaller Revell Snaptite is 15.75 inches (40cm) which would be a little too small for a raider at 1:270 scale.

Perfect! Maybe someone will get a similar model and slap some black plastic triangles on it (plus a couple other modifications to the body shape). That would be fun!

How does this compare to the rider's size in small ship scale (1/270)? Just from looking at it, I have a feeling this might actually be about as big as a Raider would be if FFG hadn't made it in a smaller "sliding scale".

The Raider would have a smaller beam to the aft than the larger ISD, but I think the length is correct. I intend to post a pic of all 3 together once the larger ISD is done :)

Got to say; I like this expansion. This ship rewards good planning and flying. Love it. Also; those titles!

Finally, the ISD Git Gud/sinister:

And since I have 2 sizes, a little forced perspective:

And I’d like to thank him for my Nebulon-B Frigate. The Immobilizer is a bit too big for my tastes. Frigates and light cruisers are as big as I’m willing to go (except for immobile set piece ships) but his posts introduced me to the eBay shop where I purchased my Nebulon-B and mock Hammerhead Corvette (CR-12 Corvette painted to look like the Lightmaker from Rogue One).

Which Nebulon-B do you have? Do you have a link to the eBay shop where you got it, I'd be interested in taking a look.

Also, here’s an Imgur album of 17 pics of my Nebulon-B Frigate, if you haven’t seen it before:

Is that a bayonet-class light cruiser I see before me? Well, that what I am going to call mine anyway.

Bayonet class cruiser

I like it. At 200 m, it does fit the bill!

I just rewatched Rogue One tonight. I need Blue Squadron and a Hammerhead Corvette!!!

See, you can fit a Star Destroyer in X-wing.

I see you just did a real long base instead of a split base. Still very cool.
