Seems the German one goes for $10 more than the French version. From what I can tell, all that is different is something on the front of the tank.
Are the changes really that significant to merit the extra $$$$ or is just more because it is a "German" tank ???

in a review i read, theres the extra parts and decals (not sure about figures) i know you can still make the German version. i didnt know about the price differance, cos its not my cup of tea.

Ah, Barnum's dictum is still in use, I see...
Seems many times if you simply slap crosses and add a small sprue of parts in a kit you can jack up the price in the hopes that the "Faithful" will pay it without asking too many pesky questions like "why" or "what for".

I think I will buy the French version, use some old crosses and whatever the German parts are, assuming the Germans retrofitted every tank, I will cover them with a tarp or mud.

the site that I found that mentioned any differences said they were just in the front. no mention of the turret..
so what are the differences?

Check out
"The most basic modifications to the B1 bis was the addition of a modified turret observation hood with top opening hatches and other minor aerial additions and additional armour on the hull front. Some vehicles were simply repainted in German markings and used as they were retaining the French style observation hood and both these options are provided in this kit."
