The Char B.1 bis was one of the most powerful tanks of its time—equipped with a 75 mm gun and thick armor, it stood out among armored vehicles of that period. It saw combat during the French campaign in 1940, putting up resistance during the German invasion. The Renault FT.17 made history as the first tank with a rotating turret, becoming a prototype for most future tank designs. Despite their design differences, both vehicles together formed the backbone of French armored forces at the dawn of World War II.

The Revell 03278 set is aimed at experienced modelers looking for interesting historical topics, as well as collectors of armored models in smaller scales.
