The Enterprise is 275,000 tonnes. That's a mass of 2,750. The model
itself is 1/3788 as opposed to 1/2400, but larger (about 1/2400) models
are available. They're about the same volume as a Jeanne d'Arc. Just
some 10+ times more massive.
Thinks: Mass 2,750 ship. Bet those Phasers are better than Type 3
beams...
