Static boat to build Viking OSEBERG 1/25

Immerse yourself in the age of the Vikings with this Oseberg Viking ship model kit from Billing Boats, a vibrant invitation to recreate one of the best-preserved funeral ships in the world.

This project takes you back to Nordic history: rediscover the spirit of a legendary longship, carefully assemble its pieces, and feel the pride of a model faithful to the original.

Technical specifications

The kit follows traditional Viking construction techniques (all-wood construction using frames and strakes).

The original ship, dating back to the 9th century, was discovered in 1903 in a burial mound near Oseberg, covered with clay, grass, and pebbles.

The ship was buried approximately fifty years after its construction.

It measured approximately 21.6 meters long by 5.1 meters wide, constructed of oak using clinker-built planking and equipped with 15 pairs of rowing benches.

It had a mast of about 9 to 10 meters and a square sail with an estimated area of around 90 m².

The kit includes laser-cut wooden parts, fittings, assembly instructions, and a detailed plan.

It is designed for the Billing Boats "600" series (or beginner level with adaptation) with a consistent and progressive assembly method.
