Academy's Da Vinci Armoured Car is an interpretation of the original drawing, designed during the Renaissance era by the famous Italian scientist and artist, Leonardo da Vinci. This spring powered kit is a joy to build, and snaps together without any tools, glue, batteries and doesn't need painting. Imagine holding a piece of history in your hand and it operates as well. This 5" in diameter armoured car carries 16 guns around its perimeter; it's full size design would have been able to attack from any angle. Academy's technical engineers captured the wonders of this mechanical masterpiece, making the model a joy to build, display or operate. The model contains a spring powered wind-up mechanism so you can actually power the model across a desktop. Part of Academy's Da Vinci Machine Series, this easy to assmble, historical and educational kit would make a terrific introductory model for the budding modeler, or student looking for a "show-and-tell" school project.
