French Battle Tank B1 bis
Never before modelled as 1/35 plastic injection kit by any maker, the unique and distinctively shaped French B1 bis tank is now available from Tamiya’s 1/35 MM Series! Featuring small, one-man turret and large tracks going around the entire hull the B1 bis tank’s design evokes that of an earlier era, promising a fascinating and enjoyable modelling experience.
In order to deal with the increasingly tense situation leading up to the outbreak of WWII, a decision was made to modify and improve the existing B1 tank, giving rise to the B1 bis. Distinctive features included the large 75mm gun turret and strengthened front armour. The engine was also upgraded to bring the tank up to contemporary standards. The French government tasked individual suppliers with producing key parts, which caused problems and greatly reduced the number of tanks that were built. Although these and other strategic failures inhibited the B1 bis tank’s ability on the battlefield, it was greatly feared by German soldiers who encountered it. Featuring strong firepower and defence, the B1 bis could more that hold its own against the tanks of the Wehrmacht during individual combat.
