Miniature Scales
There are various scales of miniatures here is an overview for reference from the largest models (large scale) 1:2500 to the smallest models (small scale) 1:7000.
The actual scale ration varies within a category and some fleets that have huge ships would use a very small scale, think a Culture General Systems Vehicles (GSV) is 53 km long so a 5.3 cm model would be at 1:1000000.
Star Ranger SCN has in depth scale classifications of many popular gaming systems.
Starships
Fleet scale ~ 1:7000 large capital ships are a few inches while cruisers are about an inch. Fleet Action or Star Blazers is a game at this scale there are also a lot of miniatures on Shapeways or STLS files you can print. For example the micro machines Warbird and Enterprise are at fleet scale.
Squadron scale ~ 1:3500 the classic scale used by Full Thrust, Starline 2400 1/3788, FASA Star Trek 1/3900, ships are 2 - 6 inches in size.
Large scale ~ 1:2500 bigger ships several inches in size Star Wars Armada is a good example which has some huge ships, or playing with model kits around 1:2500, some Eaglemoss ships can be used at this scale, though they are not produced at a set scale due to huge size variations in the background.
Fighters
Fleet scale ~ 1:3500 normally for playing with squadron scale starships multiple fighters on a stand for playing with Full Thrust.
Dogfight scale ~ 1:300 or 6mm these are models for tactical dogfighting rules like Starfighters! or Silent Death or games like Dirtside II.
