Like you said, just scale everything with regards to the vipers and call it a day.

I would not presume to say what Dykstra was working with!
but I would like to think it was the nautical mile and thats only based on my personal preference. but I think that the best way for any modeller/designer to approach the Galactica scale use the Viper and launch tube and work from there..
