Upgrading the Char B1, the Char B1 bis had thicker armour and an APX4 turret with a longer-barrelled (L/32) 47 mm SA 35 gun, giving it more anti-tank capacity alongside the 75mm hull-mounted howitzer. French experiences during The Great War influenced their belief a breakthrough tank would be needed in future conflicts, hence the design of the heavy Char B1 and B1 bis.
This kit allows you to build French or German gun tanks or as one of two versions of German flammpanzers, it contains:
Among the most powerful tanks at the time, the Char B1 bis was very effective against German Panzers in 1940 during the Battle of France. However, slow speed and high fuel consumption made it ill-adapted to the more fluid style of warfare being fought at that time.
With the fall of France, the victorious German military captured 161 Char B1 bis tanks and repurposed them under the nomenclature Panzerkampfwagen B-2 740 (f). Several were also converted into flame-throwing tanks.

It's a bit older of a model, but the quality is there. The kit goes together well enough but it isn't nearly as imposing as the B1 should be on the tabletop. The turret has a locking slot mechanism, so it will rotate without falling out, which is a major plus and too rare on these Italieri kits. The transfer sheet included is also one of the most impressive selections of insignia I've seen yet. Overall, as a person who greatly cares about scale, I do wish I had a larger Char B1 Bis for my french forces, but if you're not a stickler for that, this kit will suit you well.
