Such 'dragons' were constructed without plans and the design was passed down from father to son. The Vikings were able to mount fast, surprise attacks with these longships, but could retreat just as rapidly in the face of massive resistance. This type of ship had an approximately 20 m long displacement hull of overlapping wooden plank construction. It was held together with metal rivets.
All of the wooden parts were split from tree trunks using axes and wedges. The Viking warships were rowing boats that, with the right wind conditions, could also be sailed with a rectangular sail and folding mast.
Revell has been entertaining, inspiring, and educating model builders for over 70 years. Revell brand is a testament to the popularity of detailed plastic model kits that are affordably priced. Launched in 1943, Revell initially produced a wide range of products, including train sets, scale buildings and "action pull toys" recreating some of America's most popular automobiles. However, the brand found its niche with a line of fast-building "Highway Pioneers" plastic model car kits in the early 1950s. After their success, Revell focused exclusively on making models that were as authentic as they were enjoyable. Most recently we are introducing our newest line, Revell Junior Kit, which allows children as young as age 5 to assemble and dis-assemble for hours of creative play. Revell manufactures model kits suitable for all ages. Revell are proud to carry on the tradition of accuracy and provide a challenging, and enjoyable pastime for all model hobby enthusiasts.
