tomi_k -- I have to admit, I don't know what scale that is, maybe 1/10th? In an air tunnel, 1/4th to 1/5th is considered necessary (subject to Julian Edgar's agreement). graysgarage used 1/24th.
When I was working on the car aero history book, Professor Howell was at pains to suggest to me that if I quoted any Cd for models, even at 1:8, I should put in a qualification re the data (eg not quote that figure as if it were for the full-size car). Where there was any doubt at all, I did it.
