French experiences during The Great War influenced their belief a breakthrough tank would be needed in future conflicts, hence the design of the heavy Char B1 and B1 bis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit allows you to build French or German gun tanks or as one of two versions of German flammpanzers, it contains:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA French\/German Char B1 bis tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBolt Action stat cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-colour waterslide decal sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVehicle damage markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the most powerful tanks at the time, the Char B1 bis was very effective against German Panzers in 1940 during the Battle of France.
