Leonardo da Vinci Bombard (Revolver Cannon)

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) is widely considered to have been one of the most brilliant minds in history, with an impressive resume in the arts, literature, the sciences, engineering, and many other pursuits. This is a pre-painted kit of his devilishly clever design for a cannon that fired specially prepared cannonballs that were filled with smaller balls, which would explode into fragments on impact, giving the weapon greater range than an ordinary cannon. Assembly required. (TExt and images courtesy HobbyLink Japan)
