Hello,
There is no such thing is true scale in RC world. Even models at TOP GUN will have their dimensions twisted to allow them managable in flight. If you shrink them down to 1/48 and compare them to a true high quality plastic models, they will fail miseribly (I have been building and enter them at local IPMS for 27 years).
Interesting statement Dai. Are you familiar with teh BVM F-100 D or F model? These aircraft were modeled after weeks of measuring the real aircraft in question. They are about as exact as you can make it. I would be willing to bet either of these two are closer than a plasitc model. So your statement of there being no such thing is alightly incorrect. I do agree it holds true with a fair number of them out there, but definitely not all of them.
