Tamiya 30058 1/35 Franz. Panzer B1 bis (motor.)
Service Artikel Limited reissue
This is a "motorized" version of the previously released model kit of the French main battle tank B1 bis. The motorized version allows the modeler to enjoy and experience the excitement as you see this detailed model set in motion!
After the outbreak of World War II, B1 stood in the way of tanks of German troops determined to bring a devastating blow to France on their own soil. The B1 bis went into production in 1937 and was an improved version of Char B1, originally designed in the 1920s. On the riveted hull was a 75mm short-barrel howitzer, while a small one-man tower carried a 47mm long-barreled gun.
The B1 bis was one of the most heavily armored tanks of its time, with a 60mm thick plating in some places, and was able to defend it against anti-tank fire such as 37mm Pak guns. It was able to hold its own against individual German tanks and was greatly feared by enemy soldiers who encountered it.
