Since by definition, Star Wars uglies are cobbled together from salvaged starfighter parts, at least 50% of the model must be made of recognizable Star Wars ship parts. The scale of the parts must be close to matching; so while you can use the 1/42 scale ERTL X-Wing parts with other 1/48ish scale parts, no 1/72 scale parts used with 1/48 parts. An Ugly was any type of starfighter that had been cobbled together out of parts that had been salvaged from varying origins, including crashed starfighters and ex-military surplus. The term itself seemed to be of Corellian origin.
