Are these tanks drawn to the same scale do you think? or is it intended as an identification method? The British MkV looks about the same length - is that right???

 

 

Length was 33 feet 8 inches and weighing 69 tons, so it is BIG ! A MkV was about 7 feet shorter.

V* was a lengthened version of the MkV, a 6' section was added to enable it to cross the wider trenched on the Hindenburg Line.

The Char 3C, was a "Paper Char" never making it into production. All 10 Char 2C made, were lost as they were being transported to the front in 1940. One, No99 "Champagne", was captured intact, being displayed in Berlin. It was captured by the Soviets in 1945, last being seen in 1948 in East Germany.
