The Tamiya 35282 French Battle Tank B1 Bis is a standout addition to Tamiya’s 1/35 Military Miniature Series, presenting the iconic WWII-era French heavy tank in striking detail. Notably the first-ever injection kit of the B1 Bis in this scale, it features a slide-molded upper hull complete with realistic hexagonal bolts and heavy armor plating.
A major highlight is the track design: newly engineered segments snap together—no glue required—offering both durability and accurate track sag. Two fender types, exhaust options, and four marking sets make this kit highly customizable. The included 75mm turret has an elevating gun, and the commander’s hatch is fully poseable.
Tamiya also includes its first-ever WWII French crew figure, plus a metal tow-chain, movable suspension, and a detailed painting guide for three camouflage schemes. Measuring a substantial size in 1/35 scale (approx. 153 mm long), it faithfully captures the B1 Bis formidable presence.
Historical Context
The Char B1 Bis was France’s premier heavy tank at the outset of WWII. It featured a powerful 75mm hull-mounted gun, thick armor up to 60mm, and surprisingly effective battlefield performance—though hampered by mechanical complexity and limited speed.
This B1 Bis kit offers an excellent balance of historical accuracy, detail, and build-friendliness, making it a prized addition to any French armor or early-war military collection.
