I think you may find these to be 1/40 scale. See picture of figures on my 1/40 scale minesweeper. A 5 foot person at 1/20 would be around 75 mm check this on your bridge see how it looks

It may say 1/20 But I can assure you these are the same figures fitted on my Robbe Minesweeper.

HI jaymac a 5 ft person at 1/20 if i have done my sums right the would be 76 mm high. Me thinks the figures mentioned are not right so its back to the drawing board. Please note in my picture one crew figure is standing on a higher part of the deck hence he is taller.

I have three different figures, all marked 1:20. Suspect they are wrongly labelled, should be 1:25. But I have many boats, so they will fit elsewhere.
1:20 = 1.4M high
1:25 = 1.75M high
