Cheers Don, much appreciated!
I printed out the "Fire Raptor version 2" template that ARMORMAN posted here
http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/658701-post873.html
at 100% scaling, and from the reference photos I have this is pretty much the same size as the original Fire Raptor. So to answer the scale question, yes it is the usual WH40K scale (28mm heroic / 1:60 or whatever).
The space marine pilot I sculpted for this model is also the same size as a regular space marine (which I used for reference), and it fits properly in the cockpit and ball turrets.
Here is the model on my cutting mat (which has the inch grid), and an Elmer's glue stick for reference:
