I don't own the 2nd Falcon yet (Backordered...), but as far as i know it is the same size as the old one. So here are some pictures i took for you.
According to this it looks like the scale is not the same. As far as i read, the MF is a little bigger than minifig scale. There is a lot of discussion about this, so don't kill me if I am wrong, I just don't care that much.
Hope this helps to answer your question.
EDIT: I just recognized that i am NOT in the MF thread, so I guess it would be better to switch into the other thread for such questions.
Sorry.
