Well part of it is presentation, jets are long and low, you never really get a sense for the length in the same way you do for height.
Also maybe some people figure that Gundams are bigger than then actually are, I've had some friends remark that they thought a Gundam's foot was the size of a detached two-story house.
Yes, this is scaling as used in scale modeling. This is why 1/100 scale model kits of the exact same mech is bigger. Because the fictional mech gets shrunken down 100 times instead of 144.
Fighter jet and tractor trailer
it was hard to find a good image of a tractor trailer with the length
I never realized jets were so large. I've never actually seen one in person. Kind of fricking me up to be honest that it's the size of the RX-78.

An Su-27 is about the size of a B-17. 4th gen fighters are HUGE.
And can carry bomb loads which makes the B-17 look like a joke
Although if you laid a Psyco Gundam next to a B-52 the B-52 is still NOTICEABLY longer as the B-52's one of those How is this so BIG? types of planes
Take an F-15 Eagle and stand it on its tail.
>he doesn't stack 144 HG Zakus to find out a real Zaku's height
Is that what the 1/144 thing supposed to mean?
Jesus CHRIST anon
what did you think it stood for, moron

You need to learn fractions.

there's no fricking way
It means i'd take 144 of those types of models stacked on each other to be the real size of a Gundam.
>not instead getting 100 MG Zakus and stacking those on top of each other
Depends on era. Later UC has smaller but stronger MS.
Ten times the height of a man.
