1:72 Scale

What is the 1:72 Scale in Model Building?

The 1:72 scale is one of the most popular and versatile scales in model building, particularly for aircraft. It signifies that the model is 72 times smaller than its real-life counterpart. For instance, a fighter jet with a 14.4-meter wingspan would measure 20 cm as a 1:72 scale model. This level of reduction allows models to retain a high level of detail without taking up too much shelf space. As a result, the 1:72 scale strikes an excellent balance between detail, cost, and final size, which has led to its immense global popularity.
