Academy 18146 Da Vinci Flying Machine Interpretation

Leonardo da Vinci's Flying Machine captures the inventiveness of the Renaissance and the curiosity about human flight. This Academy kit allows model builders to assemble a faithful interpretation using PS plastic components that showcase the original concept. While it is a study piece rather than a functional craft, it demonstrates da Vinci's forward thinking.

Model Interest and Display Value

This Flying Machine model makes a compelling historical subject for display cabinets or educational collections. The assembly highlights da Vinci's mechanical ideas and provides a compact, conversation-starting piece for any modeller's shelf.

Tips for Assembly

Construction benefits from careful planning and steady hands. Trial-fitting parts before glueing and using fine tools will improve the final fit. Painted and finished, the model becomes a neat representation of early aviation thought.

Specifications

  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
This is best for intermediate modellers who have handled small plastic parts before. Basic modelling skills like sanding, painting and careful glueing will give the best results.
Use a standard polystyrene cement or liquid solvent cement made for PS plastic. Apply sparingly and allow parts to set fully before handling.
A light primer designed for plastic will help paint adhesion. Consider subtle weathering or aged wood tones to match the period look while keeping details crisp.
