Da Vinci Helicopter
-
Brand:ACADEMY
Leonardo Da Vinci developed a number of designs that were well before their time. His vision of vertical flight with his spiral helicopter, paddle wheel-powered vessels, and the early armored car may have been laughable in his day, but were the stepping stones for today's MV-22 Osprey, turbine-powered Ticonderoga-class cruisers, and M1 Abrams tank (and their analogs from other nations of course).
Here is the latest release from Academy in the da Vinci series, this time showing off his aerial screw, the precursor for modern vertical lift aircraft. The kit is molded in black and wood-colored styrene and presented on two parts trees plus a base and three-part aerial screw molded in tan. This kit is very well-engineered and goes together quickly.
