The L-39 is around 5.3 cm in length.

I haven't changed the scale from Rawen and Paran's originals. It's supposed to be 1:250.

The MiG-21s are only marginally smaller than my own version in 1:200. When I adapted the wings from my unfinished F-7E/G, I reduced them by 96.35% (1:200 to 1:250 should be 80%). Same for the weaponry and fins.

I also used 96.35% when rescaling the rocket pods for the L-39. If you swap pylons you can hang them as is under the wings of the MiG-21.

The MiG-29 seems closer to I:250. My point of comparison is Bruno's model in 1:300. If I change the line width and upscale the fins by 125% I get the same size (1:300 to 1:250 should be 120%). 125% is the rescaling factor I used for the missiles.
