Tamiya 1/35 Char B1 bis "Bourrasque". I really enjoyed tis build as it was something different from my usual German and American armor projects. I hollowed out the mud chutes under the fenders and added a wire "pig tail" lifting hook to the 75mm housing. I muddied up the flanks of the tank with washes and pastels, the upper surfaces with a little dust.
