Tricky stuff, that; wars have been fought over scales, as well as by...
;->=
Originally, 1/72 was 25mm, then between not being able to see tops of
heads
and the uncommon-ness of 6 ft folk historically, and figs being measured
from toe-to-eye, 1/72 started moving to 20mm. Or 25mm started moving to
1/64, your choice.
May I suggest The Miniatures Page for info:

Good luck! Fortunately, sci-fi vehicles have enough leeway that you just
have to go with what looks right. A recently acquired MechWarrior drop
ship
will probably do duty in all scales from Evil Empire's(tm) gawdawfulbig
down to DSII(albeit as a monster transport)...
