1:144 scale

1:144 scale is a <a href="/facts/Scale_(ratio)/1Q9xpvGM">scale</a> used for some <a href="/facts/Scale_models/YgCtlwqb">scale models</a> such as <a href="/facts/Micro_armour/GeoCEAcS">micro/mini armor</a>. 1:144 means that the dimensions of the model are 1/144 (0.00694) the dimensions of the original life-sized object; this equates to a scale of 1/2 inch per 6 feet of original dimension. For instance, an airplane 30 feet (9.14 m) in length would be a mere 2.5 inches (63.5 mm) long as a 1:144 scale model.
1:144 scale finished and semi-finished models are becoming a popular trend not only in Asia, but in the West as well. Many European and American collectors are welcoming them for both <a href="/facts/Model_military_vehicle/hQIRjubN">model military vehicle</a> display and <a href="/facts/Miniature_wargaming/uAdcDgNR">miniature wargaming</a> purposes. It is twice as large as traditional <a href="/facts/Micro_armor/GeoCEAcS">micro armor</a> / mini armor of the <a href="/facts/1%3a285_scale/ynXxTf0N">1:285</a> (~6 mm (0.236 in) <a href="/facts/Model_figure/lfG4twjG">figure</a>) and <a href="/facts/1%3a300_scale/ynXxTf0N">1:300</a> (~5 mm (0.197 in) figure) scale yet practically just as useful.
1:144 (~12 mm (0.472 in) figure) scale modeling and miniatures are considered closely related to <a href="/facts/N_scale/c97cmzY6">N scale</a> (1:148-1:160 scale) (~10 mm (0.394 in) figure) and many pieces from both scales can be used interchangeably.
