1/32 F6F to big for dio

Nay!  Go small, to add more stuff around the main subject and give it a feeling of really being there.  My two cents

How long is a piece of string?

Do the dio that feels right to you. There is no wrong choice.

I've not built a dio before but have an idea. 1/32 or 1/48 F6F, which would be better. Input appreciated. Don

I think it would help to know what your idea is before giving any input. Is your idea of a dio a base and a figure or two or are you tellng a story? It the palne to be on a flight deck, hangar deck or airfield? Are you planning to replicate a specific photograph of to something representative of hte aircraft in general?

I think a 1/32 dio is a great idea, I am thinking about going all out on a P-47 I won with a WW2 flight tower and a nearby ac parked.

Landing as a scenario, though, presents some size problems, because the things that you mention, like topled trees, etc, would be pretty far away from a landing area, or it would ceast to be a landing area.  It might work, but I think the base would have to be pretty big.

Let us know, maybe MS paint out the proposed items, others who have done dios can chime in.

Scale isn't really an issue.  The issue is whether or not you can find a place to display it.  If you have the space to set a 1/32 scale dio of a Hellcat in, why not go with that scale?  If you can display a dio that's sitting on a 24" X 28" base, make it so... If not, then you may be stuck with the smaller scale...
