Product: 1:35 WWII French MBT B1 bis (1)
Defender of the Republic
In May 1940, B1 bis tanks stood in the way of German armies determined
to strike a crushing against France on her own soil. Introduced as an
upgraded version of the original Char B1, which was developed in the
nineteen twenties, 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, more than capable of defending against anti-tank
fire such as that from 37mm Pak guns. The B1 bis could more than hold
its own against individual German tanks, and was greatly feared by enemy soldiers who encountered it.
