The powerful crane winches of the helicopter allowed it to lift loads in a hovering mode, without the need for landing. The helicopter was successfully used during combat operations in Vietnam, where it evacuated damaged aircraft and helicopters, transported artillery guns, vehicles, tanks, and even patrol boats on an external suspension. To expand the transport capabilities of the CH-54, a special container was created – a kind of transport capsule for transporting infantry, wounded, or military equipment. The containers had windows, doors, and ramp in the stern section, which made it possible to transport military equipment inside if necessary, such as guns or light vehicles. Such versatile containers could even be used for parachute deployment of soldiers. A total of 22 containers were built, each with its own military registration number.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eITEM NUMBER:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e53057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSCALE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:35\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDATE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e21.05.2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTIME PERIOD:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter 1950\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMARKINGS\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003eSikorsky CH-54A Tarhe 68-18457 with Universal Military Pod, 295th Aviation Company, Germany, 1972\u003cbr\u003eSikorsky CH-54A Tarhe 67-18429 with Universal Military Pod, Key Field Air National Guard Base, August 1982\u003cbr\u003eSikorsky CH-54A Tarhe 68-18459 with Universal Military Pod, 113th Aviation Regiment, Reno Stead Airport, November 1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMODEL SIZE (LENGTH X WIDTH):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e774 x 225 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBOX SIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e525 x 263 x 56 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNUMBER OF DETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e697\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2024-06-10T12:57:22+02:00","created_at":"2024-06-10T12:57:24+02:00","vendor":"ICM","type":"Scale Model Kits","tags":["Brand_ICM","Category_Aircraft","Scale_1\/35 Scale","Type_Helicopters"],"price":479995,"price_min":479995,"price_max":479995,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":46121572434171,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"4823044410408","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"ICM - 1\/35 Ch-54A Tarhe w\/ Universal Military Pod","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":479995,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/ICM---1-35-Ch-54A-Tarhe-w--Universal-Military-Pod.jpg?v=1718017044"],"featured_image":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/ICM---1-35-Ch-54A-Tarhe-w--Universal-Military-Pod.jpg?v=1718017044","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":35764100268283,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":1080,"width":1440,"src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/ICM---1-35-Ch-54A-Tarhe-w--Universal-Military-Pod.jpg?v=1718017044"},"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":1080,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/ICM---1-35-Ch-54A-Tarhe-w--Universal-Military-Pod.jpg?v=1718017044","width":1440}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch1\u003e1\/35 Ch-54A Tarhe w\/ Universal Military Pod\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eICM 53057\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExcludes all \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/collections\/plastic-kit-model-glues\"\u003eglues\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/collections\/paints\"\u003epaints\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/collections\/tools-desk-top-storage\"\u003etools\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e necessary to assemble.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCreated in 1962, the heavy helicopter CH-54 Tarhe was primarily designed for transporting oversized military cargo.
