B1 bis 1/35 Scale by Tamiya - Motorised Display Piece

The Tamiya 1/35 B1 bis model offers modellers an opportunity to study the form and function of this interwar tank. This motorised edition adds simple forward motion to the detailed static kit, giving a bit of life to a display diorama.

Service Role and Scale Detail

Introduced to production in 1937, the B1 bis was notable for heavy armour and a mixed armament set-up, including a 75mm hull weapon and a 47mm turret gun. The kit reflects those traits with accurate part outlines and moulded features that convey the original machine's scale presence.

Construction Tips and Functional Parts

Designed for those who enjoy careful assembly, the kit uses slide-mould parts and includes finely reproduced hex bolt detail. The single motor gearbox provides straightforward forward propulsion, while moving periscopes and a working main gun let you add realistic poses and configuration options.
