Italian Runabout Riva Aquarama

Kit by Amati

The Riva Aquarama is an Italian mahogany runabout first built in the 1960s.

Amati's kit is 1:10 scale with a laser-cut framework, double planking and mahogany veneers, plus upholstery, an acetate windscreen and photo-etched details. It can be fitted with two electric motors and radio control using a separate motorising kit.
