How the dimensions were calculated

The C-5M Super Galaxy is 75.3 metres long, 67.89 metres across and 19.84 metres high in the sourced aircraft record. We convert each figure to centimetres, then divide it by 400. Nothing is inferred from a retailer's box photograph.

75.3 m × 100 ÷ 400 = 18.8 cm model length
