1/144 Scale

1/144 Scale Model Ship Kits

Build maritime subjects in a large, detail-friendly format with 1/144 Scale Model Ships from MegaHobby. At this scale, smaller vessels and specialized naval subjects can become substantial display models with room for visible deck equipment, hull features, fittings and other details.

Because 1/144 is physically larger than many traditional ship-modeling scales, projects can offer an immersive building experience while making individual components easier to appreciate on the finished model.

Build Detailed 1/144 Ships

The larger size can make deck fittings, superstructures, weapons, railings and other ship details prominent parts of the project. Careful assembly and surface preparation become especially important because seams and alignment are easier to see on a larger finished model.
