Hello @Anonymous and welcome to the community,

This model is very big but it's fixable! What you'll want to do is make your display units inches and then make a box that is roughly the size you want this model to be in inches. Then scale down this model so it fits into the box, and then reset the Xform. I did this for you and attached it here, but it would be great if you tried it too so I can answer any questions you might have. Does this work for you when you open the file?

Best Regards,
