markjay Posted November 24, 2015 Share #1 Posted November 24, 2015 Hi,The kit is Mantua/Sergal CS. The kit has metric measurements (not a problem) but for the length it reads like this 0.25 by "60mt". The only time I've seen "mt" used was for metric tons or MT. for mountain. Can anyone help me with this? I had trouble with math in school but that is a different topic. According to a number of resources CS would have flown a "Red Ensign" being a merchantman. The flag supplied is a Union Jack. Any leads for cloth printed small flags would be most welcome.Happy Thanksgiving to all...

BareHook Posted November 25, 2015 Share #2 Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Maybe 60 meters is the actual vessel length and kit is .25 scale? try Model Expo, they sell flags Edited November 25, 2015 by BareHook Quote Current Build: Authentic Hannah Kit Bash Pending Continuation: Sea of Galilee Boat Completed Build: MS AVS On Shelf: AL Independence, Blue Jacket Alfred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbshan Posted November 25, 2015 Share #3 Posted November 25, 2015 By 'CS' do you mean 'Cutty Sark'? Red ensign would be the appropriate flag. The Union flag was reserved to the Navy.

pompey2 Posted November 25, 2015 Share #4 Posted November 25, 2015 Mark Can you help by telling us what the dimensions refer to? Is it the size of the finished model or a component?

markjay Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted November 25, 2015 The dimensions refer to the length of the rigging rope that is supplied on each spool.

markjay Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share #7 Posted November 26, 2015 Well I reverted to the old fashion method and pulled out a yardstick measured the cordage. Did some math 20ft=6 meters and the numbers came out reasonably close to what was supplied in the kit. So I guess "mt" means meters. Tom you are the winner.Thank you all. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Mark Phoenix, AZ Current builds; Previous builds, in rough order of execution; Shipjack, Peterbrough Canoe, Flying Fish, Half Moon, Britannia racing sloop, Whale boat, Bluenose, Picket boat, Viking longboat, Atlantic, Fair American, Mary Taylor, half hull Enterprise, Hacchoro, HMS Fly, Khufu Solar Boat.
