    @Fox00One The B-25 is taller for obvious reasons but they're pretty similar in length and wingspan, the F-14 might even be a little bigger

    @Fox00One Yeah I have a 1:48 scale model of both of them and they're roughly the same size

    @Fox00One It's pretty small, but it only needs to hold one person. Surprisingly it's about the same size as my T-32
