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

Tamiya 1/35 French B1 bis Tank Model - Motorized Scale Replica

The Tamiya 1/35 representation of the French B1 bis gives modelers a close look at the engineering behind this WWII heavyweight. This motorized kit goes beyond static display by providing forward movement, adding action to a shelved collection or a display base.

WWII Background and Model Accuracy

The B1 bis played a major role during the opening phases of the war, entering production in 1937 with heavy armor and a mixed armament layout that included a 75mm hull howitzer and a 47mm turret gun. Tamiya reproduces those features with precise moulding and attention to scale detail.

Assembly Notes and Moving Features

This kit suits builders who enjoy detailed assembly. Slide-moulded hull panels and realistic hex bolt detail underline Tamiya quality, while the single motor gearbox simplifies propulsion. Functional periscopes, an elevating main gun and selectable fender and exhaust options give scope for realistic finishing touches.
