1:35 Tamiya Char B1 bis

Post by LdiLuke »

So there we go with another kit :mrgreen:

I'm gonna build the 1:35 Tamiya Char B1 bis. I don't have decided yet which marking option I will use (the kit have four different marking options, three germans and one french). Probably I will build a diorama with this kit, we will see. For now the classic photos of the kit :th:

As normal with Tamiya it fits well and looks good. I'm sure you will make it even better. :th:

Ok guys, I started as usual with the wheels. I never built a Char B1 bis but how strange are those wheels :eeek:

Some of these were stationed on the channel islands. Highly interesting vehicle in French and German use. I will follow this :)
