context_page_description: 1:144 scale is a scale used for some scale models such as micro/mini armor. 1:144 means that the dimensions of the model are 1/144 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 in length would be a mere 2.5 inches 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 model military vehicle display and miniature wargaming purposes. It is twice as large as traditional micro armor / mini armor of the 1:285 and 1:300 scale yet practically just as useful.
  1:144 scale modeling and miniatures are considered closely related to N scale and many pieces from both scales can be used interchangeably.
