Yes. they don't put any scales on the boxes, however they do put sizes on 'em.
both the real life size and the size of the models.
15mm is approx. 1/100 so is they say that real life size is +/- 22m and the model size is 22 cm then you got a perfect 15mm model.
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons,
for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

I have a few X-Wings that are more 10mm scale (Pocket scale snap together range) and also a couple of the Republic gunships from the same range, which scales a bit smaller (less than 10mm - nearer 6mm).  I still intend to use them in my 15mm Sci-Fi mash up games, if only for scenery to go alongside my Captain Scarlett Angel White Falcon interceptors and UFO SHADO 1!!! :D

I bought them after doing a few sums in my head to work out the scale, but as they are cheap as chips I wasn't too miffed that my sums were wrong and they were out of scale... o_o

Hope this helps:

Picture quality's not great as I took them on my phone and the flash was whiting out the image so had to turn it off, but I hope you get the idea.

The Republic gunship would look ok as a small scout vessel- if you accepted it only carries 3 or 4 passengers rather than a whole squad of them.

I intend to use the gunships as air support for Tomorrow's War.  The X-Wings and White Falcon's are just for scenery.  I might have to look at the shuttle for troop transports.

I've got a box of Droid fighters which will make perfect fighters for my 15mm NAC troops
