Academy 18159 Da Vinci Series #10 Rotary Model Kit  [AC-18159]

Da Vinci Helicopter Model by Academy 18159 - Overview

The Academy 18159 Da Vinci Helicopter joins the Da Vinci Series as a compact plastic interpretation of Leonardo da Vinci's aerial screw. The kit offers a tactile way to explore a key idea from early aeronautical sketches.

Why the Design Still Matters

Leonardo's sketches bridged imagination and mechanics, and his helicopter idea is a clear example of that. While it was never built historically, it illustrates principles that later engineers refined, and this model makes that lineage visible on a hobby table.

Assembly Notes and Presentation

The build is accessible for those newer to modelling and provides enough detail to satisfy seasoned hobbyists. Instruction steps help explain the assembly while the finished piece works well as a study model or shelf display.
