Which is EXACTLY how the tie expansion packs are packaged.
The Tie solar panel height is slightly shorter than the X-Wing measuring nose to stern. Looks like the movies.
Remember too, that distance is harder to visualize in space (and on a 2D TV screen for that matter). So you should only consider scenes where the tie fighter and xwing are clearly equidistant from the camera, of which there are only a few.

Which sketchbook would that be? Is it something contemporary that has been published, or concept art for the movie? Either way, hardly a credible source to be cited, the closest thing we have to official is what appeared in the movies. I can't think of anything more "official" to something in a movie than the movie itself. And as said before, that's right about the size of the figures anyway, with the vertical measurement of the TIE solar panels being slightly shorter than the overall length of the X-Wing.

Furthermore, the 'masters' in that photo are visual models made for the camera. THEY WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN SCALE TO EACH OTHER. In order to get enough detail to equal the more visually interesting Rebel fighters, the much darker (and therefore detail-hiding) TiE fighter had to be made larger, so that the detail could be exaggerated.
Comparing the miniature shots during a game with the movie shots look "movie right" to me… I imagine any other dimensions for the TIE fighter would probably look weird…

Always those silly questions. He just knows. He even used caps lock to show you how much he knows it!
'Making of Star Wars' documentary. It was on TV (yes, TV, not cable) back in 1978. I don't know if you could find a video of it now. They talked a lot about their visuals (naturally, since those were the reason the movie made so much of an impact on movie-making).

You might have a point except for the fact that both TIE and X Wing FIlming Miniatures used the same Pilot figure, setting the scale of theses models at 1/24 scale. The Game Models scale to one another almost exactly the same as the filming models.
