Amati Models

https://www.amatimodel.com/en/

Amati is a historic Italian model-making company founded in Turin in 1879, originally specializing in fretwork (traforo) and woodworking before expanding into ship model kits by the 1920s. Now run by the Marletti family and organized as an S.p.A. (since 2002), the company operates from a modern Turin headquarters with a roughly 2,000 square meter warehouse and distributes to over 50 countries worldwide, from Canada and Brazil to South Africa and Japan. Amati is best known for high-quality wooden scale ship model kits, typically featuring laser-cut Finnish birch ("Avio" grade) plywood hulls, photo-etched brass fittings, and detailed rigging materials, sold across beginner (First Step), advanced (Victory Models), and Classic Collection lines. Notable subjects include historic sailing ships such as the Santa Maria, Niña, Pinta, HMS Bounty, Mayflower, Bluenose, Titanic, Bismarck, and the Robert E. Lee steamboat, plus racing yachts like the Riva Aquarama and America's Cup boats (Endeavour, Rainbow, Columbia). Beyond ships, Amati also produces wooden kits of aircraft (e.g., Blériot XI), carriages/stagecoaches, and trains (e.g., Orient Express), along with modeling tools, fittings, and figurines, and distributes third-party plastic model brands such as Tamiya, Academy, Fujimi, and Eduard through its website.
