Dave,
I like them around a foot or smaller, but concur with the "easier to reduce than enlarge comments."
Re the base design. I recommend you go with a standard E model as your baseline (covers Vietnam to present time frame). Mold line is the same to get to the H or even J with a few changes to minor details mostly in the port main gear pod for the H. J is a stretch and engine/prop mods. Making a stretch variant can then be done just like the real thing - just add plugs fore and aft of the wing. Special Ops Talons are E and H models (variant nose on the H Talon II) and the gunships are all basically H models (U model is built on an H3 airframe).
There are lots of good references out there - let me know if you think I can help.
