With the four I have listed, you could probably put together an opening war scenario, substituting existing models with custom cards for historic ships.
64-gun Africa - British 74 with custom card
36-gun British frigate - 38-gun British frigate with custom card
16-gun US brigs Argus and Syren - British Cruizer class brig with custom card and reflagged
Models would be a little off scale but close enough for game purposes

If they are scaled up, they might look out of proportion to the other game elements.
If the bases are smaller, they would require custom bases that would increase costs a bit and may impact game mechanics.
I don't know if there is an optimal answer to this question, but I think it might be worth "tossing around" a bit.
Would it be feasible to have an inside border printed on the cards to represent a smaller base?
For some of the really small ships, I wonder how having more than one on a base would work.
If they go with smaller ships they'd best reduce the price significantly, or I wont be buying any. Same thing if they change the scale.
