Well, we're talking about mobile suits (Gundams) that range from 50 feet (more or less) to 100+ feet, so the scaling is accurate if you look at it this way...
1/100 means you would need 99 more to have the accurate (or nearly accurate) height of the actual mobile suit.
1/144 means the same, but you would need 143 more.
1/60 same; 59 more.
1/72 (a rare scale mostly used for G-System and other such resin kits) same; 71 more.
The Psyco Gundam has an overall height of 41 meters in mobile suit mode, which translates to 134.51 feet; at current it's only been released in 1/144 HGUC scale, so as you would imagine it's already as tall as nearly every Perfect Grade Gundam kit around, and it's only in 1/144.
Imagine how much bigger it'd become (and expensive) if they released it in 1/100 and 1/60. Good lord to the latter.
The reason I wonder this is because I build scale model airplanes, which are usually 1/48, 1/72, and 1/48 scale. And aircraft, like Gundams vary in size. I have a 1/48 scale CH-53E Super Stallion, which is a 99 ft long aircraft. While it is huge, it isn't mega big like this one other kit I want, a 1/48 scale B-1B Lancer, which is a nearly 150 ft long aircraft
Most of my 1/48 scale aircraft are fighters, which in 1/48 scale are around 12-16" long. 1/72 scale fighter aircraft are around 8" long. I dunno, I guess coming from aircraft and car models, 1/100 and 1/60 just seem sorta odd
Uhh, that wasn't you, was it?
