| I agree with you both. Scale fidelity is quite often overlooked by some modellers, and the gentle manipulations of the control some people just cannot do it..or forget. The scale weather is a good point as even a gentle breeze on a lake is the equivalent to a force 10 gale in scale. Most models should have more power than needed but not used unless needed, unfortunately this gets lost when people get excited when sailing their pride and joy. If you ever see a true ballast tank submarine then things happen a lot more slowly and in more of a scale speed, you cannot do things too fast due to the characteristics of the model whilst submerging etc. Model cars are the same they travel far too fast for a true scale speed but its fun...Some clubs try and do scale days...1/96 is a popular one I think but may be wrong Task Force 96 do it I think ? As long as people enjoy themselves thats all that counts...but it does detract from the overall viewing experience. |
