Just taking measurements off the posted photo, there are serious scale problems across the board.
I measure the lengths as 4.5 mm for the F-22, 3.0 mm for the F-35, and 2.7 mm for the F-111
For actual lengths, the F-111 is the largest (about 21 m, depending on the model), F-22 is 18.6 m, and F-35 is about 15 m
Assuming the F-111 model is accurate 1/2400 scale, the F-22 should be 2.4 mm in the photo rather than 4.5 mm. The model is about 90% over-scale.
Likewise, the F-35 should be 1.9 mm rather than 3.0 mm. The model is about 60% over-scale.

"2.7 mm for the F-111"!
Never been into these Microboats, I only dabble with the navel side to support my armour.
I had not given 1/2400 a second look, some very nice models shown here over the years.
I do know about the old Pig (F111) so at 2.7mm I can only conclude.
You guys are completely "wacko".
My attempts at adding PE railings to 1/350 scale is the limit of my ability.
In fact it is just past it.
1/2400 is all yours guys.
