    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scale_model_sizes

    Die-cast aircraft. A scale used for high-end model aircraft and very detailed paper and plastic model ships. 9 mm figure scale. Many airlines distribute models in this scale for free as a means of advertising. Aeroplane model brands in this scale include Flight Miniatures, JC Wings 200, Wings of Glory, and others.

  3. Scale model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_model

    Models are built to scale, defined as the ratio of any linear dimension of the model to the equivalent dimension on the full-size subject (called the "prototype"), expressed either as a ratio with a colon (ex. 1:8 scale), or as a fraction with a slash (1/8 scale). This designates that 1 inch (or centimeter) on the model represents 8 such units ...

    For example, 1:48 scale is 1/4" to 1-foot (or 1" to 4 feet) and 1:72 is 1" to 6 feet, while in metric scales such as 1:100th, 1 centimeter equals 1 meter. 1:72 scale was introduced with Skybirds wood and metal model aircraft kits in 1932 and were followed closely by Frog, which used the same scale from 1936 with their "Frog Penguin" brand. 1:72 ...

  5. Scaling (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling_(geometry)

    A scale factor is usually a decimal which scales, or multiplies, some quantity. In the equation y = Cx, C is the scale factor for x. C is also the coefficient of x, and may be called the constant of proportionality of y to x. For example, doubling distances corresponds to a scale factor of two for distance, while cutting a cake in half results ...
