Char B1 bis – A Brief History and Service

The Char B1 bis was one of the heaviest and most advanced tanks of the Second World War, operated by the French Army during the French Campaign in 1940. The tank was renowned for its significant firepower (47mm turret gun and 75mm hull gun) and solid armor, which made it a formidable opponent for German armored units in the early months of the war. The Char B1 bis fought on the Western Front, although due to its limited production numbers and logistical challenges, it was unable to change the outcome of the campaign.

E.T. Model Set – Contents and Application

Set C35-013 includes precisely cut thin metal parts designed for accurately finishing the exterior details of the Char B1 bis model – such as handles, covers, meshes, hinges, reactive armor elements, as well as small external equipment details. Thanks to these parts, the popular TAMIYA model gains much deeper realism and accuracy, faithfully reflecting the historic vehicle.

Who is it for?

It is an excellent choice for fans of French armored vehicles and World War II diorama enthusiasts.

We highly recommend this set to all modelers wishing to elevate the realism and quality of their B1 bis tank models to a masterful level!
