It is big isnt it. Overall shape not dis-similar to later models so perhaps a 1/48th (1/32nd) scale could stand in?

I've seen this tank scratch built in 28m scale.  I think an Australian modeller.

Can anyone help with a link?

I think this could be the one. On an Australian forum, though the builder is in China:

It WAS Pardulon - I'm not completely senile, yet...

Not quite the same, but maybe could be used as the base for some conversion..?

Maybe you could take a Char B-1 Bis and lengthen it?

I don't think this would work - the 2C is considerably different from the B1 both in dimensions and detail.

yeah I got the B1 and it is relatively small - still nice though.
But this C2 seems to be just gigantic. really cool...

The Char 2C is a massive vehicle, even in comparison to the Char B1 (large for 1939/40). Unfortunately, most if not all Char 2C s were hit by Stukas while either detraining or still on the train.

How about taking a 1/35 scale Char B1 and resizing the hatches, machine guns etc to 28mm? It won't be the same as the photo, but should still be an impressive size.

It's one of my future projects to take an inter-war 1/35 Russian plastic tank kit [T-26 I think, but the kit is in the loft and I can't remember the exact vehicle] and convert it into a 28mm VSF landship.
