Hi looking for crew figures for Robbe Dusseldorf 1:25

I have brought 375.16 Crew man, standing, for bridge 1:20 of cornwall models the figures are 85,mm high, they seem too high.
Does anyone know the correct high or where i can get correct figures?

Thank you,
 Martin

Take one tape measure.
Pull it out 6 feet.
Read off the metric side (183cm)
Divide this by 25 (your scale) - 73mm - the approximate size wanted
Divide it by 20 (figure scale) - 91mm - so your figures at 83mm at their actual scale represent 5'6" figures, at boat scale they are about 7'4", so it will look likk the boat is crewed by a basketball team.
