From my site:
The finished droid will be a bit smaller than you might like. It’s advertised as being half the size of the original props, or 1:2 scale, but in reality it’s less than that, at 28cm wide (body plus shoulders) and 48cm tall.
The official R2 Builders Club dome is 18.25” or 464mm in diameter. The De Agostini R2 dome is 200mm in diameter. So, given that the heavily-researched R2 Builders data is pretty accurate to the film props, and assuming that the relative proportions elsewhere on the kit are basically correct, the De Agostini R2 is 87% of 1:2 scale.
