Yes, and the kit SD (or the "electronic" toy version) is even roughly in scale
with the Galactica kit (15" = 1609 m vs. 18" = 1852 m). The Base Star is a
subject of some debate as to its size, but I think the kit looks about right.

Of course, you'll have to live with the limitations of the kits. The Base Star
is excellent, having been created from the original master moulds used for the
series. The Galactica, OTOH, is a piece of junk! I'm still kicking myself for
not buying an accurising kit when I had the chance, and now the manufacturer's
gone under!

Guess I'll have to use my cold cast porcelain "ornaments" instead. They're not
in scale with anything else much, but I don't plan to mix universes...
