Italeri 3112 Leonardo Da Vinci Leverage Crane – model of Leonardo Da Vinci's leverage crane

The Italeri 3112 Leonardo Da Vinci Leverage Crane is a unique educational and model-building set, presenting in 1:24 scale an innovative leverage crane inspired by the drawings and ideas of the great inventor, Leonardo Da Vinci. This set is a combination of history and mechanics, allowing you not only to build a replica of the device, but also to understand the principles behind simple machines used during the Renaissance era.

The country that played a key role in the creation of the original is, of course, Italy—it was there, at the end of the 15th century, that Leonardo Da Vinci conducted his research and designed innovative machines for construction and engineering. The leverage crane model would have been used, for example, on cathedral building sites in Italy during the Renaissance period.

The Italeri 3112 set is made of high-quality plastic and belongs to the plastic assembly model category. This set is aimed both at modeling enthusiasts and those interested in the history of technology and STEM education. A unique feature of the model is the ability to assemble it without glue or painting, making it an ideal choice for younger modelers or anyone looking for an interesting, educational activity.

Once assembled, the individual elements of the crane allow you to simulate its operation—the moving parts perfectly reflect the mechanics of the machine, allowing you to practically grasp Leonardo Da Vinci’s concepts. Assembly is intuitive, and the detailed instructions guide you step by step through the building process.
