About the French Battle Tank B1 bis:
Never before modeled 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 modeling 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 armor. 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 defense, the B1 bis could more
that hold its own against the tanks of the Wehrmacht during individual combat.
