1/72 Area 51 UFO AE-341.15B model kit (8.25" Dia)
=======================================
This is 1/72, but at 8.5 Inches, i think you might get away with putting this up against a Anigrand or Unicraft Hanebau???? the model whilst interesting doesnt give to many clues as to a natural scale? It would be much larger than the WOTW Martians...

"War of the Worlds" ... one of my fave films of the '50's! OK, so it's not HG Wells, but the Martian UFOs were extremely well done for a film of this era.
Definitely going to get this one.
and even at $20 USD at today's conversion rates it is still pretty cheap compared to a resin kit! plus, you'll know the parts fit!
You may even be abe to buy it "in country" and not have to import it!!
I also reviewed it as the ship from "the High Crusade" based on the appearance (short tailed humanoids) of the aliens
