As a child in the USA I built an Aurora kit Viking ship which had a compete crew, I don`t know the kit number, but I still have the instruction sheet!!!! The sheet is marked with copyright 1956, 2 years before I was born! I built the kit in the 1960,s one of my first kits. I remember it had a red and white vinyl sail. The instruction sheet also has adds for Aurora speed enamels and tube cement for 10 cents….Its a big sheet about430 X 555 mm and the back side had adds for 24 other kits, I remember looking at the back side dreaming of all those Aurora kits… If anyone is really interested I probably could scan it.Old_Tonto wrote:Imagine that cold breeze up yer Dogger Bank!ShaunW wrote:That looks excellent Ivan. Can you imagine crossing the North Sea in one of those though - especially in winter?!
Great looking model and I have to agree it looks much more realistic with the wooden shields. I wonder if anyone makes a suitable set of figures?
About Vikings, I just ordered an Zvezda 1/72 Viking figure set, but they would be to small for this ship.
