Default RE: Spitfire Brotherhood (All Spitfires Welcome)

I am a little bit dissapointed at myself for not doing more research/checking.
I have received my century jet 1/7 british full pilot figure.
Hmmm....
Way too big.
I should have checked Tower Hobbies site for the measurements more closely.
I went with Century Jets measurement of 3.5" from head to seat.
Unfortunately not so. The figure I received is 5" from head to seat and 3" side to side.
Not going to be able to use it in my Hangar 9 Spitfire.
I have 4" from seat to canopy.
Century Jet offers a 1/9 size British WWII pilot firgure that may fit better.

On the other hand, now I may have a reason to get a 1/6 scale spit for next year.
I have the pilot already.
Any suggestions for a good spitfire kit in that size?

Happy building and flying.
