Now, 1/100, 1/144 and 1/60 are actually scaling for the model kit. It shows the size or how tall the model kit is compare to the real things/real measurement (there won't be real Gundam unless they did make it behind their backyard). The scale is always measured with the height of the Gundam, which can be found on the manual or box. i.e. if the height of a Gundam is 18.00 Meter height, then the model kit height shall be 12.5 cm in 1/144 scale, 18.00 cm in 1/100 scale, and 30.00 cm in 1/60 scale.
The PG Strike below is in 1/60 scale.
