Agora Models is a UK-based company, headquartered in Canterbury, Kent, that specializes in premium, museum-quality "big scale" model kits sold through a partwork/subscription format (monthly installments) as well as complete kits. The company operates under Agora Models Ltd (with Saloto Ltd cited as page operator) and has an Agora Models US arm, distributing internationally through a network of warehouses. The company is best known for large, highly detailed scale ship and vehicle kits, often produced in metal, wood, and photo-etched brass components with working lights and effects. Notable ship subjects include a 1:200 scale RMS Titanic kit with a die-cast metal hull and wooden deck, and a 1:76 scale wooden USS Constitution kit built using mahogany, oak, and walnut with hand-sewn cotton sails. They have also produced officially licensed film-tie-in vehicle kits, such as a 1:16 scale Orca boat from Jaws (licensed via Universal Products & Experiences) and 1:8 scale James Bond vehicle kits (as an official 007 licensee), reflecting a broader focus on collectible replica models beyond just ships. Agora Models emphasizes licensed, historically accurate reproductions using laser scanning and 3D modeling, pre-painted parts, and accompanying build diaries or magazines with historical background information delivered alongside each kit installment.
