Mantua Viking Dragon Longship - Large 1:40 Scale Wood Model Ship Kit

The impressive Dreki Viking ship is a new kit from Mantua Models.

Dragonships were large longboats that had carved heads of dragons and other magical beings mounted on their stem. They were ships for chieftains and kings. The ship’s dragonhead was a visual message about the owner’s status.

This is a large 1:40 scale highly detailed kit with clinker hull construction.

Kit includes sailcloth and a laser cut template for the dragon on the sail.

The Mantua kit features a plank on frame hull construction, building plans with general details, English instructions, walnut or lime planking doweling for masts, spars and oars, full set of detailed brass shields and sailcloth. All sheet ply sections are laser cut for greater accuracy.
