Stuck Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Way back in about 1970 i built a very large model of the Mayflower by Revell,for the time it seemed like a very impressive kit, everything seemed to fit perfectly if memory serves me well and it was a very enjoyable build. Recently I came across one marketed by Trumpeteer. would this be the same model ?. It was far bigger than the one Revell have now in their catalog, cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbudde Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Hallo H-366 later Nr.5602 was the large one. H-316 later Nr. 5486 was the smaller one ( I think now in the catalogue) Here a link (german) : http://modellbauer.forum-aktiv.com/t8540-revell-alexander-von-humboldt-1150 Scroll down to the end. Tomorrow I will look in my old catalogues, which scale they were. I think the small was 1:83 and the big one was 1:45 or 1:64 ( there was something wrong with the scale designation on the box like that on the PoW: 1:720 instead of 1:570) And I guesss it was the big one with 35 cm length and 466 pieces, but will look tomorrow after that. Finally I don't think Trumpeter reboxed it. Edit: The small was 36 cm, the big one is 24"=60,96 cm ( look on the box) Trumpeter is 1:60 Oh it could be the Revell one:http://www.wettringer-modellbauforum.de/forum/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=47145 revell: http://www.todocoleccion.net/maqueta-barco-mayflower-revell-made-in-england-pilgrim-ship-model-kit-maquette-alfreedom~x24614680 Edited February 2, 2015 by bbudde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbudde Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) I think 1:150 is never a correct scale for a Mayflower in the dimensions over 40 cm in height or length. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayflower Just used my Pocket calculator. It must be 1:64. Edited February 2, 2015 by bbudde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
