1:72 scale is a scale model ratio that indicates that one unit of measurement on the model represents 72 of the same units in reality. This means that an object modeled in this scale is 1/72nd the size of the actual object. For example, if a model airplane in 1:72 scale is 10 inches long, the real airplane would be 720 inches (or 60 feet) long.
