Academy 18137 Da Vinci Series #4 Catapult Model Kit  [AC-18137]

Academy 18137 Da Vinci Catapult Model - Tribute to Early Mechanical Design

The Academy 18137 Da Vinci Catapult presents Leonardo da Vinci's concepts as an assemble-yourself plastic model. It is intended for modellers who enjoy historically rooted subjects and a constructive approach to ancient mechanical ideas.

Context and Technical Interpretation

Da Vinci's original notes were often conceptual rather than built; this Academy 18137 rendition gives those ideas tangible form. The kit highlights the relationships between levers, axles, and tension as seen in the sketches.

Assembly Experience and Curatorial Appeal

Completion requires steady hands and patience, rewarding the builder with a small-scale display piece that showcases working components. The model fits well in a themed collection or as a standalone conversation piece.
