wondering if a 120mm figure would work with 1/24 aircraft.

120 mm equates roughly to 1/15th scale. If that's correct, than I'd assume that the descrepancy would be too large

If you assume that a man is 5'10".

In inches that is 5x12 + 10 = 70

In mm that is 70x25.4 = 1778 (call it 1776 that's probably more memorable!)

So for 120mm scale is 1776/120 = 14.8

For 1/24th the height would be 1776/24 = 74mm

Cheers,

Nigel

As the other guys have said the short answer is "no".

As they also noted figures are generally based on a 5'10 to 6' tall (70-72" or 1.77-1.82 m) man.

Using those numbers:

25mm - 1/72 28mm - 1/64 38mm - 1/48 54mm - 1/32 (1/35 if tall) 70mm - 1/25 77mm - 1/24 90mm - 1/20 120mm - 1/15 200mm - 1/9 300mm - 1/6 ("Battle Barbie" scale)
