The Battle of Britain Hurricane looks like it is slightly bigger than sized for a "GI Joe". Maybe like 1/10 or so. But that Empire of the Sun Mustang looks like around 1/5 scale.

 

F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

N is for NO SURVIVORS...

Yeah, think you're right about the Hurri....  Did some checking and the Empire of the Sun R/C P-51s were Byron 1/5th scale R/C birds.. Including the B-29 that later crashed at a show...  Although "FiFi" also appeared in that movie...
