The abbreviations for certain scales...

HEY,
I naver even heard of alphabetical names for different scales. Thats weird but cool.

There is actually no letter name for 1/144 scale. The closest letter scales are TT which is 1/120 and N which is 1/160. Depending on the application some figures may fit ok but otherwise you'll just have to keep searching for 1/144.

Ah the old Scaley question!! I think that is time that ALL of thhe modeling fraternity got together and got some standards going. In model railways we have an alphanumeric system from gauge 3 down to z. Aircraft scales are usually a scale ratio ie. 1/72 1/48 etc although occasionally 1/4'' (1/48) and other variation do occur. Military Modelers usually use a scale ratio but figures are in mm indicating height of model from base of boots to top of head (not hat ). Model ships again use the scale ratio. So far so good. But in railways the letter/number is not necessarily the same in every country. In the US O is 1/48 while in the UK O is 7mm=1foot also TT is 1/100 and N is different also 2mm =1ft I think. I don't meen to pontificate but I think some standardisation is needed.
