I would imagine the seat is lowered and the pilot leans forward in combat. I doubt the pilot would be lowered down for take-off, Luthier, so maybe a small change may be needed? It's no biggy for me though.

I wonder if it's something to do with how the hurricane pilot (screenshot) is modeled or scaled. Maybe his head's too small
That could happen if the model originally was say 6' tall and was shrunk uniformly to his new height of 5'6". I can't find any pics from the same angle looking down slightly so it's hard to compare. Doesn't bother me too much. Just seems a bit off.
I have no idea how tall the pilots in the following pics are or whether they are sitting on cushions. Personally, if I didn't have to look through the gunsight to shoot other planes, I'd rather be sitting higher in a taildragger for better visibility especially on the ground. Perhaps thats why the pilots in non war pics appear to be sitting higher in the cockpit.
