Request Stock NotificationThe Tamiya French Battle Tank B1 bis captures one of the most formidable Allied tanks to face the German advance in May 1940. An upgraded development of the Char B1, the B1 bis combined a short-barrel 75mm hull-mounted howitzer with a longer 47mm gun in a compact, one-man turret. With armour up to 60mm thick in places, it was well protected against contemporary anti-tank weapons and earned a fearsome reputation on the battlefield.
This 1/35 scale assembly model from Tamiya (part HC-35282) faithfully reproduces the B1 bis’s tall silhouette, distinctive side armour panels over the suspension, and the characteristic bolt detail of its riveted hull. The slide-moulded hull parts deliver crisp definition, while newly designed track links snap together by hand with no cement required. Moveable commander’s and driver’s periscopes and an operable 75mm main gun add display flexibility. Options for two fender styles and two exhaust types, combined with four marking sets and a colour painting guide, provide multiple finishing choices.
