Not sure, which part you are talking about, the filler piece behind the stem ?

 

In real terms these Viking ships were build in a rather different way, namely 'shell first', i.e. without any internal structure, which was added afterwards, after the planking had proceeded to some extent. The stem was in fact a complicated carving with a stepped rabbet into which the individual planks fit.

 

I would suggest that you trawl the Internet for photographs of the preserved prototype and of replicas to help you understand, how it should look like from the outside. You then can decide how to reproduce this best with the material available in the kit. You will have to somehow reproduce the stem with the rabbet as landing for the planks.
