Italeri Char B1 Bis 1:56 Tank Model Kit

Italeri Char B1 Bis in 1:56 scale brings the distinctive shape of the French Char de Bataille to the workbench as a detailed military vehicle model kit. The 12.1 cm finished length gives the tank a compact display size, while 85 parts provide enough structure for a rewarding build with visible track runs, turret detail and the front casemate layout that defined the original vehicle. The kit is designed with version choice in mind. Builders can assemble either a standard tank or a flamethrower version, and the marking sheet extends that flexibility with 6 finishing options. Cartograf decals supply names, numbers, crosses, roundels and unit insignia for French and German service variants, including Vercingetorix, Maginot and Gaston de Foix. The subject itself reflects the Char B1 bis configuration, known for its 47 mm turret cannon and 75 mm howitzer mounted in the front hull. Assembly is required, and the stated assembly time is 600 minutes. On a shelf, in a diorama or alongside 1:56 gaming forces, the model carries the broad tracks, riveted surfaces and heavy silhouette associated with early Second World War armour. The included 3 figures add extra scene-building potential around the turret and hull, while the different version paths invite a finish that leans toward French 1940 service or later German conversions. Paints, glue and tools are required separately.
