I think most people, yourself included, don't realize how hard it is to translate 2D imagery to an accurate, proportional, scaled 3D model. It's hard, and I don't want to understate that it requires a ton of effort.

So.

You'll give Hutchings a pass.

But by god, FFG, THEY CAN NOT GET A PASS NO SIR.

You either didn't read or didn't understand. Hutchings is the source.

Edit: To clarify, Script --> Clyne --> Ellis/Hutchings --> Clyne --> Hutchings --> LFL CG modelers

And, that model is damned detailed. FFG's has about the same level of detail as the Hot Wheels toy, which is 5 dollars.

Same detail as the hot wheels toy?

That's just a lie. You're completely lacking any objectivity here.

Fair, I was the one being hyperbolic there. Strike that last bit, but the rest stands.

so what size should it be according to you, @Wondergecko ?

Edit: and if the size is fine, what else is the problem?

The size is fine! I was a staunch defender of your scale calculations from the beginning, mate! The details are a disaster, though. Every panel line is wrong, 3/4 of the cockpit windows are missing, the 'fin' on the bottom is too narrow, too short, and too tapered, the 'tube' seems to have a too-small diameter, it's missing wingtip laser cannons, missing an entire turret on the top, missing most of the sensors, antenna, and other greebles, the nose section doesn't jut forward enough, the under the nose cannons are way wrong and just... tube.

I‘m sorry, I didn‘t follow the thread anymore, saw the same avatar as vontoothskie and blanked out!

Carry on, you‘re completely right

Well, this is sure fun! Four pages of arguing about basically nothing LOL.

I came in here hoping to find out what the actual size of the model itself is that was released. Does anyone happen to know?

I'll check when i get home.

You might have better luck in this topic:

No surprise to see the Tooth was wrong about the size though (...again)

Much appreciated!
