24 inch Cutty Sark

I just purchased a Revell Cutty Sark kit model H-368. Does anyone know what scale this ship is?

Built mine in 72, don't remember. Seems like it was about 2 feet long. The the length of the ship and model are the numbers to crunch to find out.

looked up a length of 212' long, using your 24", I came up with 1/106, that seems like an odd number to me. Could be the 212' is hull and your 24" is overall.

Thanks so much for responding.

I'm currently restoring one of those kits for a local museum and am using a set of plans from 1964 - the scale

indicated on the plans is 1/96...hope that helps!

The 24 inch Cutty Sark by Revell was one of their "build a legend in a weekend" kits. Looking in my old Revell catalogue, they had a Constitution kit, Civil War Blockade Runner kit, and Mayflower kit in that line. The Cutty Sark was H-368 and listed at 24 inches long. They also had a 1/96 scale kit that was 36 inches long, H-399. This was a completely different kit than the smaller 24" version. .

 

The length of the full sized ship is 288 ft so the 24 inch kit's scale is 1/144 scale.
