Would a 1/32nd scaled figure fit a 1/35th cockpit?

I'm toying around with this idea of displaying a 1/32nd scale pilot figure by placing it on a 1/35th scaled a/c. Scale-wise - there shouldn't be much of a difference
between the two, and since humans come in different sizes, I wonder if this holds true for the two different scales mentioned above. What do you think..any opinions welcome?

I have no real knowledge about this, but your reasoning seems impecable to me.

There is a noticeable difference in the size of 1/32 and 1/35 figures (the 1/35 looks like the little brother of a 1/32 figure), but if displayed by itself (without other figures) it may not be noticeable..

It's a resin kit released by Eagles Edition. It still needs to be painted to look like that, unfortunately.

Re: Would a 1/32nd scaled figure fit a 1/35th cockpit?

It might be a tight fit...If I did the math right, and assuming the figure was modeled after someone 6 feet tall, the 1/32nd figure would be about 2.25 inches tall versus 2.05 for the 1/35th figure. I think 6 feet is the standard since the 1/18th 21st Century Figure I'm using as a control is about 4 inches tall. There again, does it look good to you? If so, rock and roll.

Oh c'mon, fly! Do tell! How and when??!! And why would you take that beautiful, authentic, realistic likeness of Preddy and put it in a gappy, factory fresh, anorexic-landing geared, incorrectly-hinged flapped, non-riveted Mustang?

Just recently pulled the trigger to order it, and when it arrives I'm gonna hand it over to my brother who's a superb graphic artist and painter!
