HISTORY OF THE VIKING BOAT: THE FIRST SHIP TO SEE AMERICA
The Viking is a scale model with a lot of history. Who has not been astonished to admire these sculptural ships at museums or on movies and to think of the courage of its crew when navigating inhospitable and dangerous seas. The Vikings were the first Europeans to reach America several hundred years before Christopher Columbus!
For Artesania Latina, the Viking ship model also has its history because in 1995 it was the first model we launched in our acclaimed 19000 series of initiation. Today, more than 25 years later, we present its wooden model completely renovated. Designed for those who want to start on naval modeling and those who have previous experience and want to enjoy building a really nice and emblematic model.
CONTENTS OF DRAKKAR VIKING MODEL SHIP KIT
Designed entirely on 3D, the renenewed wooden model of the Viking at 1:75 scale includes all the parts of its hull cut by laser on board of first quality linden. This ensures a precise and pleasant assembly. The hull is double-lined: a first with birch ladles and a second lining with sapelly veneer. The second liner is designed for beginners modelers because it allows hiding the small errors of the first liner.
The Viking modeling kit also includes wood and metal decorations (like the two dragon heads) that give a touch of distinction to the model. We have also included an exhibition base and a nameplate for the new Viking. A tradition on this company, a beautiful pre-sewn color sail, ready to be fixed to the stick. We have made great efforts also with the instructions to assemble the ship model of the Viking.
