@ former user - your concept for the junk is actually very similar to the hullcutters in the Warlords' Cloudships of Mars game.

?
are there pics?
don't remember to have ever seen the game, but it should be a long time ago, right?

WOW!

indeed, I see the resemblance, but without sails

will You want sails?

Probably not - I'm more inclined to give the flyer some form of engine, but possibly also wings for addes lift (and to make it look nice)

And probably lots of machine guns

There was an east European company that did a plastic kit of a Viking longship in 25mm, might have been called something like Pola (but I doubt it 'cause I know they make model railway stuff), but they also did a pirate ship (worked out at about 15mm and looked like an old Revell kit re-packaged) and a Roman bireme (looked very like the old Aurora kit, perfect for 15mm but worked with 20mm).

One of the "model kit supplying traders that you see at wargames shows" (at least on the northern circuit) used to occasionally carry them.

Last time I saw them they were about £6 - £8 apiece.
If you're lucky someone might recognise my delirious reminiscences and point you in a more accurate direction.

there were 2 viking ships from Heller and 1 from Revell.

Not sure if they are still available, but might show up on ebay or be rereleased, as usual with plastic models.

They were fashionable in 1992, with the "discovery" of America celebrations
