The problem with scaling everything down is that as it might be accurate, you would lose part of the ship detail. If everything is almost exactly 60% off then they are scaled to proportions equal to themselves. They may be technically larger than they are supposed to be... but its like if you doubled the size of earth and everything on it... no one would notice.

However, in computer graphics land, if you double the size of something you can get twice the resolution out of it and make it look better. That is probably what they did to get the detail in.
