The AMX 30: pride of the French industry
The AMX 30 was developed in the 1960s by the Issy-les-Moulineaux Construction Workshop (AMX), as part of the European standard battle tank program. In response to the emergence of new threats during the Cold War, France sought a modern tank capable of competing with American and Soviet productions.
This 36-ton main battle tank was distinguished by its 105 mm CN-105-F1 gun, exceptional mobility, and revolutionary design for its time. Produced in over 3,500 units, the AMX 30 equipped not only the French army but was also exported to around ten countries, confirming the quality of French military engineering.
Its entry into service in 1967 marked a new era for French armored forces, gradually replacing the American M47 Patton tanks used since the post-war period.
Solido: French excellence in miniatures
At the creation of the AMX 30, Solido was already establishing itself as a reference in the world of French miniatures. Founded in 1932 by Ferdinand de Vazeilles, this French company revolutionized the market by offering remarkably precise scale models, particularly in the military field.
Solido's expertise in reproducing military vehicles allowed it to capture all the technical subtleties of the AMX 30. The French brand, strengthened by its experience in modeling war machines since the 1950s, brought an unmatched authenticity to its reproductions, the result of close collaboration with manufacturers and the French army.
The AMX 30 and French military independence
The story of the AMX 30 is closely linked to General de Gaulle's desire to equip France with an autonomous defense industry. Initially, the European project envisioned cooperation with Germany and Italy to develop a common tank. However, technical and strategic divergences led each nation to pursue its own program.
A delightful anecdote illustrates the French spirit of the time: during international comparative tests, the AMX 30 was the only tank able to overcome certain obstacles thanks to its lightweight design and particularly powerful Hispano-Suiza engine. This technical feat reinforced the confidence of French military personnel in their new battle tank.
The AMX 30 participated in numerous operations, notably in Chad during the 1980s, where its reliability in extreme conditions impressed international observers. Some upgraded units served until the 2000s, bearing witness to the exceptional robustness of this French design.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
Does the model car come with protection?
Yes, each model car is systematically delivered in its protective box. This box preserves the collectible value and protects your model car from dust and shocks.
