[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] We can scale off the guys inside. [IMG]http://www.st-v-sw.net/images/Trek/Series/DS9/DSN2-maquis2-fighterpilots.jpg[/IMG] Assuming that's Cal Hudson on the right, and given his width (he's a broad guy, about as 1/3rd as wide as he is tall), we can roughly estimate the cockpit as two meters wide (plus another half-meter or so to include the exterior where it tapers down to the hull), which fits well with the interior visuals later. Eyeballing it, the cockpit interior is about the same width as the width from cockpit to nacelle inboard. The full cockpit plus exterior is a bit more. We can thus take the later shot from Maquis2 showing one of the fighters from almost perfectly straight above and arrive at the following dimensions: [IMG]http://www.st-v-sw.net/images/Trek/Series/DS9/DSN2-maquis2-fightertop-zoomcrop.jpg[/IMG] Cockpit: ~25 px Cockpit to nacelle inboard: 19-20 px Total width: 200px Total length: ~175px Note that our estimate of two-and-a-half meters was pretty good for the difference between interior cockpit and cockpit plus exterior. So: Given the two meter conversion, then by the inboard standard we have: Width: 20-21m Length: 17.5-18.4m Your pixelage may vary, but I'd say that the fighter can't be more than about 20 meters long, and is certainly not less than about 16.
