Dave Fitch should NEVER DARE to be speaking on my behalf!!!!!
He either did not have the sense to realize what I was talking about, or intentionally twisted it to seem to support his problems.
My issue was not small errors in dimensions as Fitch claims, and drug me into his mess.
For me, it was calling it a 1:1 Nike Smoke, which is NOT PAINTED in any manner like like the real thing was. So, it's not a scale model of a Nike Smoke. It's the shape of a Nike Smoke.
I have had similar objections when people do "Scale" models like bastardized big Little Joe-II's and monster Soyuzes, with HUGE logos of a motor manufacturer / sponsor plastered onto it. Totally ruining/disfiguring it as a "scale rocket". Or Building a huge "Cury-Redstone" (Mercury Redstone without the Escape Tower)
Or pink and yellow (or whatever non-scale color) of "Nike Smoke"models..
People ought to call those by another name, or precede the name with "inspired by", or something else creative. Noke Smike?
Scale rockets are not generic shapes like an Alpha or Big Bertha as a canvas for whatever unscale paint jobs someone feels like whipping up, yet CALLING it the name of a scale model.
