Academy 18153 - Da Vinci Series Arch Bridge NO.9: Architectural Model Build

The Academy 18153 - Da Vinci Series Arch Bridge NO.9 turns a famous architectural sketch into a tangible model, letting modellers handle the same basic principles da Vinci explored. The kit focuses on accurate shapes and straightforward assembly for a satisfying build.
