Solido is a model car manufacturer for nearly 90 years! A veritable institution in the world of model making. The company was founded by Ferdinand de Vazeilles and continues to offer you quality scale models at affordable prices. In 1953, Ferdinand de Vazeilles left the controls of his company to his three children (Jean, Charlotte and Colette) and went to live in the South of France.  The 1950s marked the great debut of the 1/43rd scale.

Solido revolutionized the toy and hobby industry by pioneering the use of high-pressure die-cast zinc alloy (metal) casting. Solido manufactures Diecast (injected metal) models from a wide range of car manufacturers and from different eras. Series vehicles, sports, racing, utilities, they necessarily have a scale model that matches your collection theme.

While their modern 1:18 lineup drives the most volume today, Solido maintains a vast 1:43 scale catalog that pays homage to their historic roots. They remain the definitive source for classic French street history, building beautiful 1:43 models of vintage Citroëns (like the 2CV and DS), classic Renaults, and historic Peugeots.

Because of their affordable price bracket, they are frequently stocked by general hobby shops and online retailers.
