In May 1940, B1 bis tanks stood in the way of German armies determined to strike a crushing blow against France on her own soil. Introduced as an upgraded version of the original Char B1, which was developed in the 1920s, the B1 bis entered production in 1937. The rivet-joined hull mounted a short-barreled 75mm howitzer, while a small, one-man turret carried a longer-barreled 47mm tank gun. The B1 bis was one of the most heavily armored tanks of its time, with plating that was 60mm thick in places, and was greatly feared by enemy soldiers who encountered it. This is a 1/35 scale assembly model of the French B1 bis. Overall length: 192mm. Realistically depicts the tank's tall profile, 75mm gun and side armor panels covering the suspension. Hull parts are made using slide molding and feature accurately depicted hex bolts. Track parts require no cement to assemble and snap together easily by hand. Commander's and driver's periscopes are moveable, as is the 75mm main gun. Choice of two types of fenders and exhausts, combined with four sets of markings. Includes a metal tow chain, one tank commander figure, a color painting guide and four types of marking decals.
