Pluton missile was a French Nuclear-armed tactical short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) system launched from a transporter erector launcher platform mounted on an AMX-30T tank chassis. It was designed to provide tactical part of French nuclear deterrence during Cold War. Using a simplified inertial guidance system and a solid propellant rocket motor, the Pluton had an operating range between 11 and 75 miles, which only allowed strikes on targets in West Germany or within France itself. System was relatively light weight, which allowed its deployment in difficult conditions. A drone was available to provide last-minute information about target before launch, making Pluton system battle capable.

Solido tanks are aptly named, as they are truly “solid” with very heavy die-cast metal bodies. They are quite detailed and the quality is fabulous! 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 fire fighting models are built so well that over 55 years later they are as good as they were when they were built and first sold. Truly this is quite remarkable! Solido die-cast models require no gluing or painting. Each model is an instant display piece or diorama centerpiece straight from box. Made from die-cast metal, die-cast military vehicles from Solido are 100% true to scale! Solido military tanks have following features.
· Heavy die-cast metal construction that has with some plastic components (e.g., antennas).

· Accurate moving metal tracks on detailed rotating wheels.
· Realistic panel lines, access panels, and surface details located at hull.
