1/72 Char B1 Heavy Tank
Trumpeter 1/72 Char B1 Heavy Tank is a plastic kit of the French heavy tank from the early part of World War II. The small scale suits any display cabinet and a larger collection. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The Char B1 was a French heavy tank developed in the interwar period that fought with the French armoured divisions (DCR) in 1940. It carried dual armament: a 75 mm howitzer in the right side of the hull and a 47 mm gun in a rotating turret. Besides the original B1, the improved B1 bis with thicker armour and a new turret was built in larger numbers.
The Trumpeter kit in 1/72 scale depicts the B1 bis version with its characteristic tall hull and tracks wrapping around the entire side of the vehicle. The compact scale lets modellers build a collection of Battle of France tanks in little space or use the model in a diorama.
The distinctive riveted hull and French 1940 camouflage schemes offer plenty of opportunity, even in 1/72 scale, to bring out detail subtly with a wash. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
Nationality: France. Period: World War II.
