If you used Verlinden or some other 'slightly overscale' resin figures which seem to b closer to 1/32 you might be in luck. Some Revell 1/35 figures (noticably their DAK) are actually 1/32. Or you could buy 1/32 people. Lik these ones i have, US para 1/32 d day by this brand CONTE... try right down the bottom of this link:
http://www.angelfire.com/biz/toysoldierhq/Conte.html I have US paratroppers set #1. They are made in france. Pros/cons: REALLY good detail, guns a little underscale, soft vinyl (flimsy guns = easy paint chip), base for each figure...
You get 16 in a box, but there are only 8 poses. So if you stuff one up don't worry. Or, you can make 2 dioramas and give one to somebody. Which brings me to.... can you buy 1/32 C-47 Dakota aircraft? I would love to crash one into the ground for a dio with these figs. Or perhaps a 1/32 glider? any way, cheers
