Yea, this is the reason that you will see most of Pat Johnston's semi-scale planes with dihedral in the wing. He puts the wing at scale position then uses dihedral to get the leadouts to exit where they are supposed to be.
If you keep the center lines of the wing and stab in the same position relative to the thrust line of the engine (sames as the Tempest, that is) and keep the moments the same along with a side area that is at least in the ball park of the original, then you should be fine.
