scale models

Scale models are accurate representations of real objects, structures, or vehicles, but reduced or enlarged in size. They maintain the proportions and details of the original, enabling easier study or display. For example, a model airplane might be 1:48 the size of a real plane, meaning every inch of the model equals 48 inches of the real one. Scale models are commonly used in architecture, engineering, and hobbies like model building, allowing users to visualize and understand the design, function, and aesthetics of larger objects or concepts without needing the full-scale version.
