Scale of FT models

Are there any 'official' values for the scale of the various FT models?
Suggested scales I've heard are in the 1:1200 to 1:2400 range, though this
seems to make the ships a mite on the small size (about 240m length for a
super dreadnaught).

Is a larger scale assumed, or have I just been influenced too much by the huge
ships of E.E 'Doc' Smith, Star Wars and Babylon 5?

(yes, I know it doesn't make any difference as far as the game itself goes,
but I like to know these things).

Be seeing you, Sam.

Acording to my GEO-HEX catalog FT ships are in 1/2000 scale

I always thought of them as being around 1/3000 scale Sam

Geo-Hex has posted 1/2000 scale for the FT line.  I find this scale
making
the ships too small.  1/2400 scale or smaller, seems more in line with
the size of the ships.

I agree -- with 1/2400 scale models, the little 1-inch long corvettes
will be 200 feet long "in real life," and that fits my impression of the
relative size of the ships.
