Indeed you would, Jake. A flight to Oslo, a two klick walk on a sunny day out to the Bygdoy peninsula and the Fram Museum,

Then the Norwegian Maritime Museum, which now has the Gjoa that was returned from San Francisco, CA to Norway. Amundsen's smack that first made the North west passage;

and the viking ship museum with the Oseberg ships;

Must do if ever you can.

I would appreciate any tips from any of you about tracking down a kit of the Fram. I've tried all of the usual sources and even quite a few of the trickier ones, like the bookstore at the Fram Museum.

There's a kit called the "Colin Archer", in reference to her designer, but it's of a different design of his.

Several built up models, but not what I am looking for.

Once the most famous ship in the world. Any of our Norwegian friends have any clues?
