  1. After playing Battlefield 1 (a WW1 first person shooting game) I’ve been trying to source a Char 2C super heavy tank in 1/48 for my layout. 

    The tank itself would be painted in British operating colours since it would have been a creation of the fictional Riverside Works for the anniversary of WW1 and also because the tank looks awesome. However the last Char 2C was stolen when the Germans attacked a train in WW2 that was carrying the tank. This tank disappeared in Russia so for all we know, it could still be there along with the Zaamurets armoured train.

     

    Does anyone know where I could find a 1/48 model of this tank?

      Indeed; I don't work directly overhead, but the core of flux has a tendency to "spit" outwards. Extreme care - and protection is needed.

      Just completed the Lion, Falcon Kestrel trifecta, and they are all winners. Falcon's haulage power is also a credit to Heljan.

      Not really! I'd have gotten VAT off on the eHatton's one, that would have covered most of the postage. At least the auction item was mint unused in its box.

      Yes - that's the new DCC Concepts set.
