Maybe this question does or does not belong in Dioramas...

As a side note:

for 1/100 dio you can use either HO scale or TT scale though there isn't much of choice with TT scale. (HO scale is around 1/87 while TT is 1/100)

And for 1/60 scale you can use either S scale or 1/72 scale kits

The difference in the scales, using 1:160 scale details on a 1:144 scale subject, is 11% smaller [(144-160)/144].

The choice to use N-scale items with a 1:144 subject is entirely up to you.   As a matter of personal choice I try to limit the scale differences to 10%.  

As it turns out, using 1:144 accessories on a 1:160 model turns out to be exactly 10%  [(160 - 144)/160].  I'm planning on using some of the new resin & PE guns & details from White Ensign on an Iron Shipwright 1:160 scale PC461 patrol craft
