Default Warbird pilot puzzle just for fun.........

BTW, guys, wanna have some fun?

See the three pictures of my pilots in the three H9 warbirds?

Let's see if anyone knows the answer to this, just by looking at the pictures.............
Which pilot figure is the one that is the worst out of scale?

The P47 pilot looks awfully small, doesn't he?
The F4U pilot looks about right, right?
The P40 pilot looks a tad ..... hmmmm..... large? maybe? Oh wait, that is a Kyosho 46size ARF.

Who knows which one is the worst?

Based on the position of the head to the head rest , I have to say that the P47 is a midget in a big plane !!!! he looks the worse

I'm gonna say the Corsair pilot looks too small. They sat high in the 'pit. The Jug pilot doesn't look too bad, it's a huge plane. The prop on it is what looks too small, though.

Okay, I am going with the P-40 being the worst. Not sure why other than no one else has said the P-40 yet. Good Luck, Dave

P-47 is fine, take a look at some pics and realise how big that bird was.

Corsair is probably out because it was a very big bird and that cockpit wasn't that cosy.

Whereas the P-40 looks OK given the scale of the headrest and supporting armor plate.

It's amazing when you take a look at some WWII pics with the pilot in the cockpit, it suddenly gives scale to how big some planes were (eg. P-47).

The Raven Nailed it,
Other than the Pilot sitting low in the '47, he is the right scale or close.
The Corsair pilot looks too big and the P-40 pilot is close.
P-40's were smaller than Corsairs and P-47's so the Pilot appeared larger.
Cool.

They all look too small since they don't have any arms, belly or legs...
And the P-40 isn't a Hangar 9 plane, its the P-40 made by Kyosho

P-47 this guys is barely minimum size fit for military service. Lost in a big airplane.
Corsair, this guy is out of retirement. Gotta admit he probably has a few extra pounds and inches. Probably a Korean war vet flying for the Confederate Air force. haha
P-40, this guy is on drugs and scared @#$%less. He is looking in a non-exixtant mirror for the DEA on his 6.

All three plane are very nicey done.
