Billings Models 1/50 Oseberg Wooden Ship Kit

The Billings 1/50 Oseberg Viking Longship wooden ship model is an accurate recreation of the real life vessel.

The Oseberg was found in Norway at Oseberg in Vestfold in 1903, resting on a bed of blue clay and covered with turf and stones. The Oseberg was built in the last half of the 800's and was buried roughly 50 years later. The ship is some 50 to 100 years older than similar vessels which have been found. It lay deep in the water and must have been relatively dangerous under sail.

This kit features plank on frame construction, laser cut plywood keel and frame components, wooden superstructure and decks, hull and deck fittings in brass and/or plastic, mast and spars, rigging cord in various sizes. It includes full-size plan sheets and an instruction manual with English text.
