The Char 2C was developed during the Great War, but did not enter operational service until after the war. It was a heavy tank landship designed for the trenches of the First World War.
Battlefront announced that they were releasing models of the Char 2C. They were delayed for a while. However, in the end I pre-ordered a box, who wouldn’t.
You get three models in the box, these are resin kits with metal parts.
I washed the resin and took the time to glue the tracks to the hull of the tanks. I then glued the metal weapons, of which two are attached to the two turrets and three to the front of the hull.
I decided to glue the rear smaller turret into the hull, as I couldn’t really see any advantage in having it loose.
The next stage will be an undercoat.
These are lovely crisp castings and really look the part. You also realise how large they are, well they were super heavy for their time, even if later in the second world was there were even larger and heavier tanks.
