As long as you can control the viewing angle, that should be a very convincing scene.
I did a similar thing in the pasture out near Indian Line, with N scale cattle up on a hill, near the backdrop. In this photo, by my good friend Mister Nutbar, they don't look too bad, although they're a bit blurry (they must've moved while the picture was being taken):

However, this area of the layout is only 3' high, so most viewers see it as if they were riding in Barney Secord's plane:

When I eventually install the second level of the layout, though, the upper deck will block that view, forcing spectators to view the area from "ground" level.
