For these measurements I will be using the 28.5 foot length however. Currently don’t have any information about the difference but in the visual effects shots, the Viper should normally be considered longer.

The full-scale mock-up of the Viper was 28.5 feet long, however this mock-up is proportionally shorter than the filming miniature. Now the scale of the Vipers launched from the launch tubes are between 29 ft and 30 ft depending on what source you’re looking at, in another page we get to see the other estimated scale of both the Viper and the deadly and cool looking Cylon Raiders. The difference in the apparent scale was too much, the Galactica appeared larger than the elegant USS Enterprise or its first big screen outing the Enterprise Refit, That is 1000 ft long.

by then I knew the size of Star Treks USS Enterprise, which was 947 ft long, which I think also needs some revision of thought. but as I got a little older that original thought came back to me that old thought, “it looks bigger than 2000 ft ?”. even at a tender age I could tell this did not add up (believe me or not), but I shrugged it off and continued to enjoy the book, I would read it every few years (I still have it somewhere). That even then gave me pause for thought, 2000 ft. (If you click on the Images they will enlarge) Here it is, now read down to the length which is at 0.264 miles or 2000 ft.
