Dave Williams Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) Saw this over at ARC. http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/topic/318637-icm-ch-54-tarhe-due-next-year/&tab=comments#comment-3057047 Anyone heard anything? I’m wondering if the subject is correct, but the scale is wrong. Seems much larger than the kind of stuff that ICM has been doing in big scale in the past. OTOH, it kind of fits in with the Cobra for a Vietnam theme. All I can say is, if true, I’m definitely in!

Out2gtcha Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 OMG, OMG, OMG!!!! My absolute FAVORITE helo ever! I hope it's large scale, but still wishit was 32nd like the Cobra. Doesn't matter..... I've dreampt a lot about an LSP CH-54. I might have to change it up to a civilian model, but maybe not. Either way 32nd, or even 35th, NO clue where I'll put it when done, I'll be having one for sure!! firefly7, chrish, Fanes and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alaninaustria Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 This in unbelievable news!! I have always loved this beast! I never included it as a future want because I never actually considered it would ever be produced! But, now I am in seventh heaven! I want to build a firefighting version! Awesome!

Out2gtcha Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 It does seem the tiniest bit hard to believe..... With a 72 foot rotor diameter on the 1:1, that puts a 1/35th model at nearly 25"/63 cm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Not so difficult to believe as this does not ask for a so complex kit except for the visible engines. The rotor blades are not an issue. ICM already made far larger parts with a similar or even longer length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee White Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I'm in for one of these- the only helo I prefer in civilian garb (Big old orange Erickson Sky Crane) to it's military scheme. Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
