1:72 Scale

What is the 1:72 Scale in Modeling?

The 1:72 scale is one of the most popular and versatile scales in modeling, especially for aircraft. It means that the model is 72 times smaller than its real-life counterpart. For example, a model of a fighter jet with a 14.4-meter wingspan will measure 20 cm in this scale. This reduction allows models to retain a significant amount of detail while not taking up too much shelf space. This makes the 1:72 scale an excellent compromise between detail, price, and the size of the finished model, contributing to its immense popularity worldwide.
