1:35 ICM 53202 Firefighting Tank for Sikorsky S-64 Plastic Model kit

Complete your Sikorsky S-64 firefighting helicopter with the 1:35 ICM 53202 Fire Tank. This plastic model assembly kit represents the specialised firefighting tank that transforms the S-64E into an impressive helicopter for large-scale aerial firefighting. It is an interesting addition to your S-64 model and an excellent basis for creating a realistic firefighting scene or diorama.

The Sikorsky S-64E can be equipped with a specialised aluminium tank with a capacity of 10,000 litres. For optimum flight dynamics, it is typically loaded with 9,000 to 9,500 litres. The tank can release water, foam or fire retardant directly onto major fires. Internal vertical baffles stabilise the liquid payload in flight and help maintain helicopter control.

The real system offers two methods for refilling the tank with water in flight. The Pond Snorkel uses a 12-metre flexible hose with a pump at the end and can draw water while hovering from sources only 45 to 50 cm deep. The Sea Snorkel skims water from the surface while the helicopter moves across open water at 35 to 45 knots.

The firefighting system has a surge capacity of up to 30,000 gallons, or 114,000 litres, per hour. A full load can be released in just 2.5 seconds, while the system can also perform up to four precise partial drops per mission. With the ICM fire tank in 1:35 scale, you can give your S-64 model its distinctive and purposeful firefighting configuration.
