I'll need to see where things end up when it's all done to know for sure. I do intend to move the seats a bit more still. As it is right now, you could almost certainly leave the pilot's legs totally intact if you cut out some internal walls inside the front end of the bottom half of the cockpit shell. I'll see if I can get a couple of pictures with the legs still on and the cockpit interior in place to illustrate where the issues are in there so you can judge for yourself. Part of my goal and driving philosophy on my add-on/upgrade parts is to make them reversible as much as possible, requiring no permanent modifications to the original parts whenever possible. I suppose cutting out internal walls that are normally hidden anyway probably won't bother people too much but my tendency is to avoid it at all costs, hence I simply unscrew the legs and remove the lowers. There's nothing that should stop someone from doing it the other way around, though.
Part of that leg space suitability will depend on the figure in question. The
Airborne
bodies I was cramming in there have those big pouches on the calves that make things tighter in there than it might be for other figures. Then again, 30th Ace has his pistol holster on his ankle which would be an issue. What figure mold are you planning to put in there?
If I ditch the RIO instrument panel and recline the seats significantly I
might
be able to avoid any leg removal but that's at the cost of lots of interior detail, figure placement not lining up with canopy sections (pilot ejection would result in death), and a flight crew that would be stuck staring up at the sky. That's not as appealing to me, personally, so I haven't pursued that option to see where it might lead.

Yeah, their sales are not what they used to be. Once upon a time they had $4 or $5 shipping all the time and they used to do 15% off sales once or twice a year and I don't think they had minimums on that either. If it makes a difference for anyone, there is a
searchable marketplace
on there and you can buy from multiple makers in the same cart at the same time with shared shipping. You need not buy $99+ from any one designer.
