A couple of things to consider, your pilot is 12" and that makes him Tall. If you were to get a pilot that was in the 50th percentile group he would be around 5'6-7", meaning half the guys were taller and half the guys were shorter. I would opt for a smaller guy. Second thing to consider is the "Scale Size" of your plane. Most planes are not scale in all respects. This includes length and width. So even if your pilot IS scale he may appear out of scale because of the plane's dimensions. Choose a pilot that looks correct regardless of the scale and you'll be fine.
