In the model railroading world they have the terms “brass hat” and “rivet counter” for the folks who obsess over dimensional discrepancies in scale models. Discrepancies of a few percentage points on models as small as 1/220th of the prototype! If we were REALLY concerned about adherence to scale we’d FLY our rockets to scale - imagine how many perfect in dimension and detail 1/24 scale V-2s you’re going to recover after hitting an apogee over 3 miles! 😉
