15mm/1:100 scale French Char B1 bis heavy tank – solid resin, hand-painted, and weathered. Ideal for collectors and wargaming.
The Char B1 Bis was a French heavy tank used during the early stages of World War II. It was an upgraded version of the Char B1, boasting improved armor and firepower. With a 47mm gun in its turret and a 75mm howitzer mounted in the hull, the B1 Bis was heavily armed for its time. Its thick armor made it nearly impervious to most German anti-tank weapons during the Battle of France in 1940. However, despite its formidable strength, the tank was hampered by slow speed, high fuel consumption, and a complex mechanical design that made it difficult to operate. While it performed well in combat against German tanks, the B1 Bis was ultimately overwhelmed by Germany's superior tactics and numbers during the Blitzkrieg.
