It won't make a difference.Coefficient of drag is solely a function of profile drag,regardless of 'source.' As long as dynamic similarity is respected (Reynolds number),model-for-model,the Cd will always be the same, as long as the critical Reynolds number is maintained and you're beyond Rn= 860,000.
