Italeri 3110 Leonardo da Vinci Helicopter Model Kit - Collector Build  [IT-3110S]

Italeri 3110 - Leonardo da Vinci Helicopter Model Kit Overview for Modelers

This Italeri 3110 Leonardo da Vinci Helicopter model kit gives modelers a clear window into Leonardo's inventive sketches. Based on a concept from about 1480 in the Codex Atlanticus, the kit reproduces the famous "aerial screw" idea that anticipated vertical lift. The original drawing imagined a roughly five metre wooden screw wrapped in starched linen and turned by four men using human power.

Why this historic design appeals to kit builders

Although Leonardo never built a working craft, his helicopter concept remains a striking example of early flight thinking. This Italeri 3110 kit lets hobbyists reconstruct that historic proposal, adding a distinctive piece to collections focused on engineering history and early aviation notions. The parts and detail give a satisfying assembly experience and an educational display when finished.

Assembly notes and display suggestions

The kit reflects the proportions and materials suggested by the original drawing, rendered in PS plastic. Builders should expect careful gluing and neat painting to bring out the wood and fabric look. Once assembled, the model makes a conversation-starting display that illustrates Renaissance experimentation with flight.
