WWII - VEHICLE LIST 1/56 (28mm) scale Bolt Action

Renault B1 1934 (France, WW2)

The B1 tank is a French heavy battle tank, designed in the interwar period and used at the start of World War II. A very advanced design for the time, the B tanks nevertheless proved to be quite unsuitable for the rapid operations of the Battle of France in May-June 1940.

Its design began in the 1920s, with several prototypes. The Renault model was chosen in 1929 but production did not begin until 1934.

• 3 MAC 31 7.5 mm machine guns (5,250 rounds) (1 coaxial at 47mm, 1 under 75mm and 1 stored for AA)
