Less Expensive Viking Sailing Ship 1/50 Revell Germany

Assembly Required. Ages 12 & Up.

Vikings originating from Scandinavia have regularly appeared in Great Britain and on the European mainland on raiding expeditions in their Longships. These highly seaworthy fighting ships measured around 66 feet in length and had a bow at both ends, enabling them to beach and/or launch in either direction. The shallow draught of only five feet also gave the Vikings the option of sailing or rowing up inland waterways and rivers, allowing them to raid areas deep in the hinterland. With these fast and very maneuverable “Dragon Boats” the Vikings ventured as far away as Iceland, Greenland and even North America.  Features of this kit include a two-piece wood grained hull, large area deck parts with engraved details, a typical Dragons Head, 64 individual shields, an anchor and 32 oars, a structured sail, mast, yardarm and thread for authentic rigging, a two-piece stand and a comprehensive set of decals for all the shields and the sail.
