I think they are too small, but I can't find much specific information on the web.

A couple of options if you want to make your own:
You could scale these plans and make some from wood:

or, I assume there is a source for styrofoam in Egypt, make your own from Foam.

This gives you dimensions that will work. If you want to be artistic you can carve the foam to make them more scale-like. Tapered sides, rounded tops, teardropped tails, etc.
