Academy 18175 - Da Vinci Leverage Crane Builder Edition

The Academy 18175 Da Vinci Leverage Crane brings da Vinci's lever-based solution into a compact model that highlights simple machine theory. This kit is part of Academy's series celebrating historical engineering and invites careful assembly and study.

Historical Insight and Modelling Interest

Leonardo's sketches show a deep grasp of leverage and load control well ahead of modern crane technology. This model reproduces those ideas so builders can examine how forces are applied and distributed in a classic mechanical arrangement.

Practical Build Tips and Display

Assembly is focused on fitting and alignment, rewarding attention to small details. Because the parts are produced in colour and assembled without glue, the completed crane makes an effective display element for any collection interested in inventive design history.

Specifications

  • Scale: Not to scale
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Snap-fit assembly, no glue needed
  • Paint: Not required
Glue is not required thanks to snap-fit parts, but some modellers use a drop of plastic cement for permanently fixing delicate joins.
The crane is a standalone display model, but builders often add it to dioramas or collections that feature historical or mechanical subjects.
The kit is approachable for hobbyists with basic modelling experience; beginners who enjoy careful work will find it manageable.
