Depends on your definition of 'full-size'. The White Stars always seemed to me to be about the size of a fast-attack light cruiser with a small crew. Certainly much smaller than a battleship, but definitely larger than a fighter. Maybe half again the size of the Millenium Falcon? Of course, as with anything else that's been borrowed for UF YMMV.
