Why is Tie-Silencer a small base ship?

It looks to me like an interceptor that's been squashed a bit. The wings are probably the best bit - the hull, I find a little underwhelming.

The hull (and cockpit) are very TIE Avenger, which is kinda neat.

What should the gunboat's dimensions be at 1/270 scale?

10m -> 1000cm
So in 1/270 it should be 3,704cm long.
The FFG model is 3,555cm long.

It's 95,978% right scale. Works for me :)

Note: I doubt 10m is the exact length of the GUNBOAT as such a precise round number would be strange for something that was build to fit other requirements than fitting the exact 10m mark. Probably it's somewhere between 9,75m and 10,25m

Anyone tried proxy-ing the Silencer on a large base? It'd be kind of interesting. Might yield some insights as to the base size decision.

Holy crap that would be fast.

Large base PTL boost and barrel Roll off of the 5 straight would allow you to get round 1 shots against anything that lined up on your half of the playmat
