Could Godzilla Wrestle Thunderbird 2?

Watching CLOVERFIELD again last night and tut-tutting at the shaky camera work spoiling the film, I wondered just how big ol' CLOVERFIELD might be compared to the spaceship, in which it presumably landed in New York's harbour. Having googled for monster and spaceship scales [yes, I admit an odd google even for me!]
 
 
I found two sets of scales in metres we've seen before, monsters [NextRound] and Thunderbirds [Nigel Sadler 2009] which I've combined for easier comparison. It would appear that Thunderbird 1 is on a par with Mr. Stay Puft The Marshmallow Man and Godzilla is about half the height of TB2. Cloverfield, king of the monsters, is a titch compared to Thunderbirds 3 and 5. Can anyone top trump that?

Always enjoy scale charts & comparisons. Had no idea that the Rancor was so much larger than King Kong...?
