Italeri 3110 LEONARDO DA VINCI: HELICOPTER

Italeri 3110 LEONARDO DA VINCI: HELICOPTER is a unique plastic model kit that allows you to travel back to the era of great inventive discoveries at the end of the 15th century. This set is a reconstruction of one of Leonardo da Vinci's most fascinating concepts—the human-powered helicopter, often referred to as the “aerial screw.” The model is produced in a unique 1: Leonardo scale, perfectly replicating the proportions and details of the Renaissance master's original drawings.

Leonardo da Vinci's helicopter prototype was designed between 1486 and 1490 in Italy. Conceived during the Renaissance, it is considered one of the forerunners of aviation. In his vision, da Vinci used a spiral canvas meant to rotate and lift the entire structure into the air—something that, unfortunately, could not be achieved with the materials and technology of his time. Although it was never built or used, Leonardo’s heliopter symbolizes humanity’s drive to conquer the skies and the creativity of the Renaissance era.

The model is made from high-quality plastic, characterized by durability and precision in each component's workmanship. A unique feature of the Italeri 3110 kit is the possibility of assembly without glue—parts are perfectly fitted and snap together, making it an excellent choice for both beginner modelers and enthusiasts of technical history. All parts have been meticulously recreated according to Leonardo's surviving sketches, and the completed structure is extremely impressive.
