Default Re: How much do you fudge?

Yup, sometimes form needs to follow function. These models are off a little in their dimensions anyway. Wedicos aren't really 1/16 scale and Tamiyas aren't really 1/14 scale. Sometimes you just have to mock things up with cardboard cut-outs (CAD -cardboard added design) and make adjutsments till it looks right. Other times you need to adjust for components you can't get in the right scale. Wheels and tires might require you to scale up or down to keep proportions looking correct. I don't think there is a fudge factor really. You won't even notice a scale 6" much.
