Char 2C

This is the MENG Char 2C in 1/35 scale, one of their earlier kits. This is a real monster of a tank, developed after the end of the 1st World War.


The kit went together really easy with only a few difficult parts. The find piping on the engine deck required some fancy tweezer work.  The grills on the sides were photo etch but set down real well.



The tracks were individual snap together, at least at first.  Too much handling will loosen the fine hold points and you will eventually need to make length and link sections to complete.



I did the final weathering with lots of burnt umber and black washed mixed in with blue and white dot washed and scrubs to get in the streaking effect.  Final details of rust and wear.
