This is The Rocinante based on the model published by Syfy. Based on a Reddit thread about the Rocinante's/Tachi's size (https://www.reddit.com/r/TheExpanse/comments/3zh437/size_of_the_tachi/), where a size comparison picture of all ships was posted, the ship is to be about 46 m long. Since the scale of the original model seemed quite arbitrarily chosen to me, I decided to transform it into a pretty standard aircraft/spacecraft scale of 1:288.

Scaling of the model
The original model is, judging by its filenames, designed to be 11.4 '' long. 11.4 '' would be 11.4*2.54 = 28.956 cm long, the model parts assembled in Blender showed a nearly spot-on length of 28.87 cm. Assuming a length of 46 m for the ship, this equates to a weird scale of approximately 1:159 (maybe the 46 m is also not super accurate and the model is supposed to be 1:160?).
Well, the ship in 1:288 would therefore have to be 46/288=0.1597 m or 15.97 cm long. I scaled down all parts to 0.1597/0.2887 = 0.5532... of their original size.
