Yup, they're brutes.  In 1/285 or 1/300, it comes out
to about 2 1/2" for an F-14.  Again, I use smallish
6mm figs - my class 4 MBT's are about the same size as
GHQ modern MBT's  (I'm using CinC THK-IV's and GZG
Grav Somethings), which might make it easier to go
with smallish aerospace figs.

In terms of SHAPE, the ones that appeal to my
aesthetic for Ground Attack Aerospace units are again
the Chupacabra and the Djinn, but I have no idea what
size they are.

No, that would be too easy, wouldn't it? :-P
