Choose what the viewer should notice first: the vehicle, a character beside it, or an occupied cockpit. That decision determines the figure position and the space to reserve around the model.
Try the viewing angle before fixing the layout
Jada 98259 is a useful example because its Robin is seated inside while Batman is separate. Looking directly along the body can hide the seated figure; a slightly elevated view may make the cockpit easier to read. This is a composition suggestion, not a claim that either figure can be repositioned.
Place a separate figure to the side of the main silhouette. Keep distinctive wheels, fins or roof equipment visible.
Leave space around the figure so it is readable against the car. Check actual figure height and pose rather than relying only on scale labels.
Choose a view into the occupied area. Do not assume a seated figure is removable or that a standing figure will fit inside.
Test with temporary positions
Use temporary paper markers to explore a layout before attaching anything. If an adhesive or stand is needed, verify compatibility with the model’s finish and the accessory instructions; the arrangement alone does not establish a safe attachment method.
First verify the actual figures in the package. Then use this layout trial to decide where those supplied pieces belong. The two checks answer different questions: what you receive, and how you will show it.
