Willy Jeep is an American off-road four-wheel drive military light utility vehicle, built in large numbers to a single standardized design, for United States and Allies of World War II from 1941 until 1945.  Jeep became workhorse of U.S. military during war, while improvised field modifications made jeep capable of performing practically any other function necessary.  With 647,925 units built, jeep constituted a quarter of total U.S. non-combat motor vehicles produced during WWII.  Large numbers of jeeps were provided to U.S. allies through Lend Lease.  Jeep was widely revered for its toughness, durability, and versatility.  It was designed to carry up to 4 troops and to mount .30 or .50 caliber machine guns swiveling on a post between front seatbacks.  General Dwight D. Eisenhower wrote in his memoirs that most senior officers regarded it as one of five pieces of equipment most vital to American victory in Africa and Europe.  Army Chief of Staff General George C. Marshall called jeep “America's greatest contribution to modern warfare.”  After World War II, U.S. military continued to use jeep in Korean War and Vietnam War, until it was gradually phased out by updated models in 1980s.

Solido military models are built so well that over 45 years later this model is as good as when it was built and first sold.  Truly this is quite remarkable!  Please note that typically, Solido tanks and armored fighting vehicles as well as firefighting trucks 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.  Solido military die-cast vehicles feature the following:

•  Die cast metal construction with some plastic components

•  Accurate detailed rotating wheels

•  Realistic panel lines, access panels & surface details

•  Pad printed markings & placards that won’t fade or peel like decals
