Italeri was established in Bologna in 1962. Today, with over sixty years' experience, they have become benchmark scale model manufacturers of international standing. As a byword for “Italian style” models, Italeri can boast a catalogue of more than 600 kits covering all categories from military to civil, in all scales. Great attention to detail leads to particularly realistic scale models. The quality standards are also outstanding, achieved applying the most modern design and production techniques, which emerges most clearly in the latest editions. These include the 1:32 scale aeroplane series and 1:12 scale car series, which have been highly praised in traditional trade periodicals and on-line. Special attention is dedicated to Italian contexts with important partnerships, foremost of which is a collaboration with the Italian Air Force.
