If that hex-base is roughly the standard size, I'd reckon a single fighter should have a width of somewhere between 20 and 25mm?
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Hmm. Probably a bit big for my needs. Lovely fighters though. Many thanks.

You looking for specific Aerotech/Battletech fighters?  If not, there are crap tons of smaller printed fighters on Etsy for games like Star Wars Armada for cheap (around $6USD for 12 fighters).  They're much smaller though.

Really appreciate you flagging that up, but I had already looked at Etsy.  The problem is shipping to the UK. So far, surprisingly, I haven’t found any fleet scale fighters made in the UK. If you see any, please let me know!

I see a ton of Etsy printers located in the UK, but you may have to find (or buy) the files and find someone willing to do a custom job for you.

Which brings me back to the first post. These are probably too small after all. Shame because they are great and easily accessible.
