Since this Solido military vehicle is built on a metal chassis it will stay in great condition for decades to come. Please note that typically, Solido tanks and armored fighting vehicles are made in a 1:50 scale while the support vehicles, which include the jeeps and staff cars, are produced in a slightly larger 1:43 scale. Also, Solido military and firefighting models are built so well that over 30 years later they are as good as they were when they were built and first sold. Truly this is quite remarkable! ================================================================================ Be sure to read item description and ask questions before committing to a purchase.
