It was designed and manufactured by Sikorsky Aircraft, a company founded by the renowned aircraft designer of Ukrainian descent, Igor Sikorsky.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe prototype, initially designated S-64, made its first flight on May 9, 1962. Production aircraft, later adopted by the U.S. Army, received the designation CH-54A. Most of these helicopters were deployed to Vietnam, where they were operated by specialised aviation units to transport artillery, ammunition, military vehicles, and various types of cargo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe CH-54A Tarhe’s outstanding operational capabilities also proved invaluable in the recovery of damaged aircraft. In a document dated December 1968, the U.S. Army reported that 423 aircraft had been recovered, 105 of which were so large and heavy that only the powerful CH-54A Tarhe could evacuate them from difficult-to-access locations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe helicopter’s winch system allowed it to lift loads while hovering, eliminating the need to land, while its powerful engines enabled it to carry exceptionally heavy payloads. The CH-54A also performed specialised missions, including dropping heavy bombs to clear forested areas for airfield construction. Following the Vietnam War, the CH-54 continued to serve successfully with U.S. Army and National Guard units until the 1990s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eICM’s first 1:72 scale model of the CH-54A Tarhe heavy military helicopter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe helicopter’s structural elements are accurately reproduced, including the transmission, cargo winches, and landing gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe model features detailed rivet detail on the fuselage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt can be built with or without engine air filters, and includes two landing-gear strut options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe kit includes a decal sheet with four marking options from different time periods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarkings Available\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSikorsky CH-54A Tarhe 67-18420, 273rd Aviation Company, Vietnam, 1968\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSikorsky CH-54A Tarhe 67-18426, 101st Airborne Division, Vietnam, 1968\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSikorsky CH-54A Tarhe 68-18455, 295th Aviation Company, Frankfurt, 1976\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSikorsky CH-54A Tarhe 67-18428, 1160th Aviation Company (Transportation Company), Georgia, 1980s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: \u003cstrong\u003e1:72\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Parts:\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e332\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength:\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e367\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth:\u003cstrong\u003e 271 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes detailed assembly instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly detailed sprues with high accuracy made from quality plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEAN: \u003cstrong\u003e4823044412044\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarton quantity: \u003cstrong\u003e20\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBox size: \u003cstrong\u003e295 x 225 x 40 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:72\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Assembly Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helicopters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNation:\u003c\/strong\u003e American\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1954-1975 - Vietnam War\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct code:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICM72001\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied unassembled and unpainted.

Each B-26 Marauder crew included pilots, bombardier-navigators, and rear gunners. The bombers operated from various airfields: permanent facilities with hard, durable surfaces and temporary field airstrips built with special Marston Mat planking. Made of steel, these planks could withstand heavy loads and created stable airfield surfaces for different aircraft on soft or unstable ground. Their perforated design allowed water to drain without compromising surface quality.

With the outbreak of the Second World War, these bombers were actively employed by the Royal Air Force and bore the burden of the early combat operations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy late 1941, the use of the HP.52 Hampden as a torpedo bomber was proposed. The concept of employing this aircraft for maritime strike operations had been considered as early as 1935, during the design stage, when it was planned to widen the fuselage to accommodate two torpedoes. However, wartime conditions demanded simpler and more practical solutions that did not require major structural changes to the fuselage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe designers succeeded in installing a single Mk.XII torpedo in the lower section of a standard HP.52 Hampden without significant modifications. Converting the bomber into a torpedo bomber required the reconfiguration of the ventral gunner’s position, modification of the rear part of the bomb bay, changes to the position of the movable bomb bay doors, and the installation of a special torpedo mounting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe take-off weight of the torpedo bomber increased by approximately 450 kilograms, while the aircraft retained the ability to carry bombs under the wings—the bomb racks for two 227‑kg bombs remained in place. In total, 144 aircraft were converted to the torpedo bomber role; this modification was designated HP.52 Hampden TB.Mk.I.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe torpedo bombers served with five squadrons of RAF Coastal Command—Nos. 144, 408, 415, 489, and 455 Squadrons—which operated over the waters of the North Sea and the Arctic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe model features the characteristic differences of the HP.52 Hampden TB.Mk.I torpedo bomber: a modified lower gun position and redesigned lower fuselage section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed rivet imitation on the fuselage, wings, and tail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes Mk.XII torpedo with trolley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecal with marking options for four different aircraft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarkings Available\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHP.52 Hampden TB.Mk.I AT147, No. 489 Squadron, 1942\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHP.52 Hampden TB.Mk.I AJ991, No. 32 Operational Training Unit, Patricia Bay, Canada, April 1943\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHP.52 Hampden TB.Mk.I AE261, No. 489 Squadron, RAF Leuchars, 1943\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHP.52 Hampden TB.Mk.I AE386, No. 455 Squadron, RAF Leuchars, 1943\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: \u003cstrong\u003e1:48\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Parts:\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e271\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength:\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e341 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth:\u003cstrong\u003e 442 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes detailed assembly instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly detailed sprues with high accuracy made from quality plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEAN: \u003cstrong\u003e4823044411252\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarton quantity: \u003cstrong\u003e12\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBox size: \u003cstrong\u003e410 x 260 x 55 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Assembly Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aircraft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNation:\u003c\/strong\u003e British\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1939-1945 - World War II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct code:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICM48353\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied unassembled and unpainted.
