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...
