TAMIYA B1 BIS GERMAN ARMY(35287)

Working for the Enemy
When the German army invaded France in May 1940, they were met a small number of the monster B1 bis tank, which featured heavy firepower and thick armour protection. Armed with a 75mm howitzer in the hull and a 47mm gun in a small turret, the tank also had 60mm thick armour, making it superior to any German tank at the time. After the capitulation of France, captured B1 bis tanks were pressed into German service after modifications such as new radio equipment, tools, and German-standard cupola hatches. These tanks saw action on the Eastern front, and were also used to guard the Channel Islands.
