1:35 French MBT B1 bis, military model kit

This 1:35 scale B1 bis military model kit brings the distinctive form of France's WWII heavy tank to the workbench with its tall stance, hull-mounted 75 mm howitzer and compact one-man turret carrying a 47 mm gun. The combination of large side armor panels, exposed running gear layout and rivet-rich surfaces gives the finished build a strong period presence in a display case or diorama setting. The hull parts are produced with slide molding, allowing crisp structural shapes and accurately rendered hex bolts across key surfaces. Newly designed tracks snap together by hand and use 62 links on each side, creating the long track runs that define the B1 bis profile. Moveable commander's and driver's periscopes add extra mechanical detail, and the 75 mm main gun can also be repositioned after assembly. The kit includes a realistic metal tow-chain, 1 tank commander figure and 4 marking options, with a choice of 2 fender types and 2 exhaust styles to match different finishing combinations. Assembly is required and the stated assembly time is 600 minutes. On the bench, the mix of movable details, alternate exterior parts and marking choices supports a build that can be tailored toward different vehicle appearances. Once painted and marked, the B1 bis suits shelf display, historical collections and WWII diorama scenes where the layered armor, long tracks and compact turret shape stand out clearly.
