Italeri 3108 Ornithopter Historical Model  [IT-3108S]

Italeri 3108 - Leonardo da Vinci Ornithopter Reproduction

The Italeri 3108 kit brings to life Leonardo da Vinci's ornithopter plan from the late 15th century, a study in imitating avian wing motion. Da Vinci proposed a system of levers and pedals to amplify human effort into a flapping mechanism, and this model illustrates those ideas in plastic form.

From Sketch to Scale Model

Part of Italeri's Leonardo da Vinci Series, the ornithopter kit appeals to builders who want to interpret historical engineering on the bench. Assembling the pieces offers insight into the mechanical logic behind early flight experiments.

Construction Notes and Collector Value

Assembly of the Italeri 3108 rewards careful builders, since neat joins and correct alignment improve the finished look. The completed model makes an engaging display item and highlights da Vinci's experimental spirit among historical model collections.
