A bit off topic but are there large prints of those blueprints anywhere?
You can click on 'em to expand to full screen. The sidey comes in at 21m wide by 14m long by 5m high.
There's a picture of a man standing next to the SW. Let's say the average male is 1.8m and the man is just over 3 squares high, for the sake or argument lets say that 3 squares = 2m
I counted 32 squares for that SW. So yeah, it is actually 18-20m.
Yes, all the ships in Elite are big. And that's cool 
I think the Condor, the second smallest ship of the game, is the size of a modern fighter, F-16 sized maybe ?

These are "spaceships" with armor.
The armor and engine alone wouldn't be small. I mean you are talking about an intellstellar jump drive here, not a V8 engine.
I don't think there even exist these blueprint images for more than the ships shown above.
True that.
I do believe (or at least hope
) that eventually we can download the "New Observer's Guide to Ships in Service" with such schematics for all ships & stations in game. Will have to wait for a while though, as 15 more playable ships need to be added to the game first...
FD could make a fortune if they had blueprints of the core ships made up as A2 or A1 size posters. OMG. I would have a Cobra or Imperial Clipper above my bed. Double-sided posters with colour "advert" on one side and blueprint on the other? I'd pay around £30 for one of them. *hint hint*
And where are my in-cockpit furry dice for my Vulture? £5. Free Brian toy? £FREE with insurance.

Yeah, I would totally buy an A2 poster of a Python and and Eagle blueprint.
Forgot a couple of images. Seeing the pilot standing outside the ship really gives you a sense of how huge these ships actually are.
