Unles you are going to compete, scale is whatever you want it to be. One thing I get alot of flack over is my paint scheme's. I do not compete so I do it how I want it. Click on my gallery and one can see my Waco and Cub is painted like no other.
I just purchased plan's for a Pitts Special S1S/S1C. Actually two set's, one R/C set and one full scale set, this one will be the closest I have ever built to true scale. Including paint.</p>
I pretty much agree, I will never sign up for scale masters but I have built a lot of planes that look like what they should be, just not when you get close and start looking too hard. My Tiger Moth looked a bunch more scale then the ARF that Horizon is now selling. I covered it to match a full scale Moth that is flying today. I scratch built a Krier Kraft, the plane was very scale in the bones but then I covered it so I could see it instead of the red and white the full scale was. It looked nothing like the full scale when I was finished. My hat off to the true scale builder but for me, close is good enough.
