The 1:200 scale is a modeling scale used in the model building hobby. A vehicle or building made in the 1:200 scale, fits 200 times inside its real-life counterpart (in one dimension; it would fit 8 million times if packed three-dimensionally, and would weigh 8 million times less).
A large percentage of models produced in this scale are aircraft models. Companies such as Hasegawa distribute 1:200 scale-sized airliners and military aircraft.{{cite web|url=http://www.hasegawausa.com/aircraft_1-200.html|publisher=hasegawausa.com|title=Hasegawa 1/200 Scale Aircraft|accessdate=2016-11-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161205222306/http://www.hasegawausa.com/aircraft_1-200.html|archive-date=2016-12-05|url-status=dead}} Flight Miniatures also produces many airliner and military aircraft models in the scale, both die cast and plastic ones.{{cite web|url=http://www.flightminiatures.com/|publisher=flightminiatures.com|title=Flight Miniatures Airplane Model - Snap-Fit Model Aircraft Kits and Diecast Aircraft Models|accessdate=2016-11-12}}
Ships are also sometimes available in this scale.{{cite web|url=http://www.hobbylinc.com/1:200-scale-plastic-model-ships|publisher=hobbylinc.com|title=1/200 Scale Plastic Model Ships|accessdate=2016-11-12}}
In the world of model aircraft - the 1:200 scale is very popular for a range of military aircraft models, in particular - large aircraft such as bombers, cargo and transporters. This makes for a very reasonably sized model - not too big, but also big enough to include great quality to the model. {{cite web|url=https://airmodels.net/78-military|publisher=airmodels.net|title=1/200 Diecast Military Aircraft Models|accessdate=2019-06-06}}
A bit less popular, but comparable in size, is the 1:250 scale.
