For the past 50 years I have wanted to build a Viking ship model. I am of Scandinavian heritage, grew up in a Scandinavian community, graduated from a university started by Norwegian and Swedish immigrants, and taught at that university for 14 years. Hence my interest in building a Viking ship.
I have particularly looked at the 1:50 scale Drakkar model by Amati, the 1:35 scale Gokstad model by Dusek, and the 1:40 scale longboat model by Mantua. My principal concerns are the quality of materials in the kit and the availability of complete instructions in English science this is only my second model.
Any comments regarding these or other kits would be most welcome.
