How are we supposed to know the scale if it doesn't say? As far as i'm aware this shuttle sort of thing is around the size of a small moon

Its the Buran shuttle, but someone decided to paint it and call it moonraker
Buran was going to be the Soviets response to the U.S. Space Shuttle, but the USSR collapsed before any crewed test flights happened.

Well, yes but since this is a custom make of the Buran shuttle it could have custom proportions so theoretically it could be the size of a star destroyer

A buran the size of a star destroyer isn't a buran anymore

A buran with the words "Moonraker" painted on the side isn't a buran anymore. Like if you change your hair color with spray paint

That's like saying the Air Force 1 isn't a 747 because it has a different paint job. Or that a Q400 with an Air Canada livery isn't a Q400.

Question, why don't you do it yourself?
You can get all the textures here without mod (only the blue requires BP editing)
Edit: and the darker orange stripe requires BP editing

On the subject of without modifications to the game, Why not? Surely the shuttle could be more accurate with the use of modifications, and this whole challenge could be easier considering that the shuttle doesn't seem to have any orbiter, the whole thing is an SSTO from the launchpad to the moon. Certainly not impossible but certainly difficult to do without mods, And as with any challenge; Do it yourself before asking someone else to do it. And the annoying part is that it's even harder to make a 1:1 thing because of part clipping being disallowed lol.

Well I already knew that, I just would’ve liked for him to have admitted it himself, like a TV detective.
