*The model blockage ratio way exceeded the 5% maximum.
*Surface details this small cannot be analysed with anything below a 1/2-scale model.

So the fact they have PhD is invalidated because it is in India? What type of degree do you have?

With respect to "Surface details this small cannot be analysed with anything below a 1/2-scale model" were exactly this was discussed? That is a clay model not a car!
