Above is something a little different from Italeri, the Leonardo Da Vinci weapon of destruction, maybe just a dream that was never built, but now offering a full model kit, and there are others as well in the same scale odd-ball.
This and others are now on ebay, and just wanted to know what you guys thought of this strange looking model, does it intrest you ? Would it be something you'd buy and build ? Makes a change to the normal run of surface craft.
Love to know what you think.

Hi Alec, yes, have seen these in the shops in Holland. I am tempted but have too many other things planned just now.

That is really cool. I have seen this on the A&E channel along with other paper inventions by the man (helocopter and subs). He was a talent ahead of his time. Yes, I would P/U this and any others just to do something real neat and unheard of by most people. Thanks for sharing this tidbit Al.

I've seen these and similar items released from other companies. I got the daVinci catapult for the kids. I'm looking at getting others because they look interesting to me.
