The models of Kong built for the island scenes were only eighteen inches high. When Merian C. Cooper decided Kong needed to look bigger while in New York City, a new twenty-four inch armature was constructed, thus changing Kong's film height from eighteen feet on the island to twenty-four feet while in New York City. While it's true Kong was made to look larger in the New York City scenes, there is no reason to believe one inch corresponded to a foot in the scale of the models. It's clear when looking at Kong on Skull Island that he's more than three humans tall, which is roughly how big he'd be if he were eighteen feet. A specific height was never given.
