1:35 ICM 53057 Sikorsky CH-54A Tarhe with Universal Military Pod - American Heavy Transport Helicopter Plastic Model kit

Bring an impressive piece of American military aviation history to life with the ICM 53057 Sikorsky CH-54A Tarhe Skycrane Helicopter with Universal Military Pod in 1:35 scale. This extensive plastic model kit allows you to build an authentic replica of the distinctive CH-54A Tarhe, a heavy-lift helicopter developed from 1962 to transport oversized military cargo. Thanks to its striking open-frame construction, powerful lifting winches and six-bladed main rotor, the Skycrane could carry substantial loads without requiring a conventional internal cargo hold. During the Vietnam War, the helicopter was used to recover damaged aircraft and helicopters and to transport artillery pieces, vehicles and other heavy equipment. To further expand its capabilities, a special universal military transport pod was developed. This detachable container could be carried beneath the helicopter and provided accommodation for military personnel, casualties and various types of equipment. The combination of the imposing Skycrane and its distinctive transport pod makes this model a fascinating subject for military aviation enthusiasts.

The ICM 53057 contains an impressive 697 plastic components, offering a challenging and highly detailed building project. The completed model measures approximately 77.4 cm in length, allowing the remarkable proportions of the CH-54A to be fully appreciated in 1:35 scale. The kit features detailed representations of the open-frame fuselage, landing gear, lifting equipment and various technical components. The universal transport pod includes interior detailing and seating for military personnel. Its doors can be assembled in either the open or closed position, allowing you to choose how much of the interior remains visible. The pod can also be displayed suspended beneath the helicopter or separately, providing additional possibilities for military dioramas. The included decal sheet offers three American marking options representing aircraft from 1972, 1982 and 1989. With its extensive detailing, unusual construction and flexible presentation options, this kit offers an impressive challenge for experienced modellers looking to add a distinctive heavy-lift helicopter to their collection.
