About the Vehicle:
Originally designed during World War I, the Char 2C was intended to break through heavily fortified trenches. By the time it was completed, warfare had changed, and its slow speed and immense size made it impractical for modern battlefields. Only 10 units were ever produced, and while they were deployed in 1940, they were ultimately destroyed by their own crews to prevent capture by advancing German forces.
About the Model:
This 1/56 scale model accurately represents the gigantic proportions and imposing structure of the Char 2C. With detailed riveted armor, turret-mounted howitzer, and hull-mounted machine guns, this model is a standout addition to Bolt Action French forces and historical dioramas.
