Produced in tiny numbers between 1921 and 1923, the real machine weighed over 69 tonnes and stretched more than ten metres in length, making it the largest tank ever to enter operational service. Its twin-turret configuration, spanning main and secondary armaments, was utterly unprecedented for its era and reflected a doctrine of mobile fortress warfare that would define French strategic thinking for a generation. Revered by historians and armour enthusiasts alike, the Char 2C occupies an irreplaceable position in the canon of mechanised warfare heritage. This meticulously researched Char 2C French Battle Tank building block kit brings that legendary silhouette to life at an authoritative 1:50 scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eArchitecture \u0026amp; Bricks\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross 1,766 precision-engineered bricks, the model is structured through a logical sub-assembly methodology that mirrors real vehicle construction — hull sections, turret assemblies, suspension elements, and surface detailing each progress as discrete, manageable stages. The universal stud-compatible system means every brick interfaces with complete confidence, delivering structural rigidity without compromise. Panel layering techniques replicate the distinctive angular armour plating of the original vehicle, whilst strategically placed structural beams provide the torsional backbone required to support a model spanning nearly a metre in length. The modular build philosophy ensures intermediate builders can pace their progress sensibly across the recommended four-to-seven-hour construction window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMechanical Mastery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAssembling this model is a genuinely immersive engineering exercise, guiding the builder through the spatial logic that made the real Char 2C such a formidable proposition on the drawing board. The dual-turret configuration demands careful sequential construction — the primary 75mm turret and secondary rear turret must each be built and integrated with precise positional awareness relative to the hull centreline. Track assembly along both flanks introduces satisfying repetitive patterning that reinforces the model's imposing ground-contact footprint. Surface detailing work, including vision ports, hull riveting texture, and engine-deck venting, rewards patience and reveals the extraordinary topographic complexity the original designers faced when translating a land battleship into steel. Each build stage delivers a clear sense of progress and a deepening appreciation of interwar French armoured engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDisplay Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 97 cm in length, this is an unambiguously commanding shelf presence — arguably the most expansive tank model in its category, demanding dedicated display real estate and rewarding it with an authoritative sweep of military grey that arrests the eye from across any room. The 1:50 scale ratio is faithful to serious collector conventions, enabling meaningful dimensional comparison alongside other armour models in the same scale family. The model's low profile at 12 cm height accentuates the characteristic long, squat silhouette that made the real vehicle so visually distinctive. Finished construction reveals a cohesive, museum-grade aesthetic: a statement collector piece as much as a celebration of building craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs-box\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 33.5 cm x 97 cm x 12 cm (Length, Width, Height) \/ 13.2 in x 38.2 in x 4.7 in (Length, Width, Height)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1766\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:50\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quanguan  |  \u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuild time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-7 hours\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"key-features\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthentic 1:50 Scale Proportions\u003c\/strong\u003e — Every dimension is faithfully calibrated to the real Char 2C's extraordinary length, delivering a nearly metre-long completed model that commands immediate attention.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-Turret Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e — The model replicates the iconic twin-turret layout of the original vehicle, including the forward 75mm main turret and the rear secondary turret, each constructed as a precise sub-assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1,766-Piece Engineering Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e — The high brick count enables surface granularity rarely achieved at this scale, including riveted armour texture, vision apertures, and engine-deck detail across the full hull length.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModular Sub-Assembly Structure\u003c\/strong\u003e — The build is logically staged into hull, turret, track, and detailing phases, making complex construction approachable for intermediate builders without sacrificing final model fidelity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterwar French Armour Colourway\u003c\/strong\u003e — The palette reflects the period-correct military grey\/green livery associated with French Army armoured doctrine of the 1920s and 1930s, lending historical gravitas to the finished display piece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetailed Track Assemblies\u003c\/strong\u003e — Individual track-link elements run the full length of both flanks, producing an accurate ground-contact profile that reinforces the model's land-battleship character.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUniversal Stud-Compatible Bricks\u003c\/strong\u003e — Every component is manufactured to tight dimensional tolerances, ensuring consistent clutch pressure and structural integrity across a model spanning nearly a metre.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntermediate Build Complexity\u003c\/strong\u003e — Designed for builders who have progressed beyond entry-level kits, this model develops spatial reasoning and sub-assembly discipline across an estimated four to seven hours of focused construction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMuseum-Grade Display Footprint\u003c\/strong\u003e — At 97 cm in length, the completed model occupies the visual authority of a serious collector artefact, making it as compelling as a display centrepiece as it is rewarding as a build experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscover more in our \u003ca href=\"\/en-ca\/collections\/military\"\u003eMilitary\u003c\/a\u003e collection or \u003ca href=\"\/en-ca\/collections\/new-arrivals\"\u003enew arrivals\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShare your build on Instagram and tag @powerbrickz to join the community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePower Brickz — Epic builds start here.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quanguan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58281790996744,"sku":"QUANGUAN 100334","price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/7447\/3224\/files\/imgi_9_CHAR-2C-_1.jpg?v=1784724092","url":"https:\/\/powerbrickz.com\/en-ca\/products\/char-2c-french-battle-tank-1766-pcs","provider":"Power Brickz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
