The term "1/144" refers to a scale used in modeling, particularly in the context of miniature figures and vehicles. In this scale, one unit of measurement on the model represents 144 units in real life. For example, if a model airplane is 1 inch long at 1/144 scale, the actual airplane would be 12 feet long. This scale is commonly used for plastic model kits, especially in the hobby of scale modeling. It allows enthusiasts to create detailed representations of aircraft, spacecraft, and other vehicles while maintaining a manageable size for display and collection.
