Char B


It must be said that the French army in 1940 was ideally suited to fight the 1914-18 one!
This is a French heavy tank - a veritable dinosaur to be placed in the context of the backward thinking that created the Maginot Line (be sure to do the virtual visit!). There's a little article on the model they have in the Tank Museum. This tank is also described here .

Recently reissued in 1/72 as a kit with the Renault Ft-17 (box art above) - with Heller Somua now available this makes a French trio in that scale.
