Help needed choosing a proper size pilot
 
Hello all
I am trying to find the proper size pilot for my ESM P47 D .
what size would a 1/9 scale pilot be . from what I can see when i measure my scratch built cockpit I will need a pilot about 7" tall . any ideas Please
Thank you

A pilot 7 or 8 inches tall would be just right for a 1/9 scale model. However, the 71 inch span ESM P-47 is actually very close to 1/7 scale for which you will need a pilot 9-10 inches tall.

So do you want a pilot figure that fits that cockpit or one that fits the model? I'd go with the model.
