Tamiya 30058 - 1/35 French B1 bis Military Model Kit with Single Motor - Scale Modeller Edition  [30058]

Scale Study of the French B1 bis from Tamiya

The Tamiya 1/35 French B1 bis presents a compact but detailed study of this interwar armoured vehicle. This motorised edition incorporates simple forward propulsion into a model that also rewards careful finishing and display work.

Service History and Model Replication

Produced from 1937, the B1 bis was recognised for substantial armour and a combination of a 75mm hull gun with a 47mm turret weapon. Tamiya's tooling conveys those defining elements through authentic part shapes and surface detail.

Assembly Process and Functional Details

Builders will find slide-moulded components and well-defined bolt detail that reduce seam work. The single motor gearbox provides straightforward forward movement, while movable periscopes, an adjustable main gun and options for fenders and exhausts allow period-correct presentation.
