Default Scale sizes?

Could someone show a chart of the different scale sizes relative to the motor size on the box.
For example.. I bought a .60 sized JU-87 Stuka. What would the scale size be? 1/4,1/5,1/6,1/7,1/8 so on...

no chart exists... scale size depends entirely on the plane, not the engine size, so a .60 size christian eagle might be a fairly large scale, whereas a .60 size warbird will be substantially smaller in scale.

Oh.. I was wanting to purchase one of the "Aces of Iron" pilot figures for my "Great Planes" .60 Stuka. Any idea on which pilot size I should get? The size chart is here if the link works. http://www.acesofiron.com/products/LW3.htm

Your link shows the scale would be 1/8th and the axis pilot offered 1/7th. You might have to trim about 1/4" off the torso base to look scale. It should be close enough. I had just traded for a 1/4 scale fully detailed PT-19 with a very small 1/6th or 1/7th scale pilot. Really looked stupid.

You could also look up the scale of your plane using the wingspan measurement and the Aces of Iron WW2 Aircraft Data Chart:
