New civil airliner scale?

[B777LR]

I just saw this on wikipedia (Read the bold part) :

Typical scales of models

The premier scale for model aircraft vehicles is 1:72. Airliners and other large aircraft are at 1:144, with a few at 1:288. A scale with more room for detail is 1:48, which is a preferred scale for single-engine World War Two aircraft. Other, arguably more luxurious, models are available at 1:32 and 1:24. A few First World War aircraft were offered at 1:28 by Aurora. Other scales which failed to catch on are 1:64, 1:96, and 1:128. Repressings of old moulds are often revived in these scales, however. There are also the most common carrier aircraft at the scales of their ships (see below). Many older plastic models, such as those built by Revell do not conform to any established scale, are sized to fit inside standard sized boxes. These kits, often called "box-scale," are often reissued still in their original(and unusual) scales, such as their 1:39 Wright Flyer.

Although the Soviets did not supplant 1:48 with their scale 1:50, nor 1:32 with their scale 1:30, the Japanese tried to offer the scale 1:100. Many Japanese and Korean kits can still be found in 1:100 scale. There is a major European project to bring about 1:150 to replace 1:144, just as they have small toy airliners in decimalized scales. And the French firm Heller SA, unlike any other in the world, offers models in the scale 1:125.

Does anybody know anything about this?

Wikpedia is fundamentally flawed as it is not peer reviewed. I believe nothing on that site.

As an editor who's graced that page, I wholeheartedly agree.

I havent a clue about that either. All you can pin on me is that blurb about "box scale," and 1/100 kits also being made in korea.
