The 1:200 scale is a modeling scale used in the model building hobby. A vehicle or building made in the 1:200 scale, fits 200 times inside its real-life counterpart (in one dimension; it would fit 8 million times if packed three-dimensionally, and would weigh 8 million times less).
A large percentage of models produced in this scale are aircraft models. Companies such as Hasegawa distribute 1:200 scale-sized airliners and military aircraft.[1] Flight Miniatures also produces many airliner and military aircraft models in the scale, both die cast and plastic ones.[2]
Ships are also sometimes available in this scale.[3]
In the world of model aircraft - the 1:200 scale is very popular for a range of military aircraft models, in particular - large aircraft such as bombers, cargo and transporters. This makes for a very reasonably sized model - not too big, but also big enough to include great quality to the model. [4]
A bit less popular, but comparable in size, is the 1:250 scale.
