RE: When is scale no longer scale?
Pittsdriver is correct. I have the ability to obtain scale information from actual aircraft that are in the museums. That was the type of information I was referring to. Additionally, I would have thought that the plastic versions of the models would have more accurate information, but obviously if they draw from only the 3 views that are incorrect, the problem still exists. You had brought up a point that I hadn't thought about.
