Italeri

Italeri S.p.A. is an Italian manufacturer and brand of plastic scale models of airplanes, military vehicles, helicopters, ships, trucks, and cars.

The company was founded in 1962 by Giuliano Malservisi and Gian Pietro Parmeggiani to produce accurate scale model kits with attention to detail.

The company, located close to Bologna, started to produce product lines characterized by a certain “uniqueness” on the subjects.

It has designed famous Italian aircraft used by the Regia Aeronautica during the Second World War, from the small biplane fighter Fiat CR.42 Falco to Savoia-Marchetti SM.82 three-engine bomber.

They have also produced a series of 1:35 scale motor torpedo boats of World War II such as the American PT-596, the metre-long model of the Schnellboot S-100 of the German Kriegsmarine, and the MAS of the Italian Regia Marina.
