How long to assemble Dusek Viking longship

[insearchofship]

Does anyone know roughly how long it takes to assemble this kit? The Dusek Viking longship. https://premiershipmodels.us/product/viking-longship-model-ship-kit-dusek-d014/

I'm looking to gift a completed ship -- I didn't find any assembled ones for sale so am looking to build it myself or maybe find someone who can help build it for me. I have no experience building anything so not sure it's feasible for me to try... I saw other posts that said model ships could take 50-100 hours to build. If this kit takes that long, then probably too expensive to pay someone to build anyways, and I'll scrap this idea.

Thanks for reading!

I just hope that it has better instructions than my santa maria model from dusek.

First of all a warm welcome here on board of our forum.

The time necessary to build a ship depends mostly on the modeler - for this beginner model I guess it can be 40 to 50 hours (which is not much) - but you as modeler will be able to define the time necessary
As more accurate you work as more time you need
