Title: 1/35th Char 2c New Meng Kit
Post by: kornbeef on December 13, 2013, 06:14:05 PM

For those among us who dabble in genres elsewhere. this look at first inspection a mighty sweet kit. So good to see more WWI armour appearing.

It really is good to see WWI AFVs finally getting some attention, even if they are in 1:35 scale. I just picked up the Meng FT-17 and this Char 2c is on my wish list when it becomes available. Also recently announced is the Takom St. Chamond. While WWI AFVs were pretty ugly compared to the aircraft of the era, they do present some interesting painting challenges.

Cheers,

Chris

I have Meng's FT-17 waiting for me . . . and am thinking about getting the Char to join it.
