I think with the Galactica at this scale or perhaps a little bigger ... perhaps 3 or 4 hundred feet max should the as big as it gets ..

with the present arrangement. unless you wish to alter the launch bays
Agreed. That pic of the Viper launching kinda makes the case for the 6080 Ft (or a few hundred feet more) length for the "G". Looks pretty spot on.
Not sure if anyone else thought to measure up a Viper with a launch tube to figure out scale-to-length before. Excellent thinking, my friend.
