They regularly and normally post new product announcements there and on their FB page, and there’s nothing on either.

That's too big for my display space"(I'm in this category, although IF they include a working winch, a detachable cargo pod and a 105mm Howitzer, I just might find somewhere to display one) , so if they do or if they don't what difference does it make on a thread where we are just expressing our desire to have or not to have? Hopefully part of the work is done as the 105 mm Howitzer is already available ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I see one of these in my future at some point. Derek Out2gtcha and Rick Griewski 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 There is a gent over at LSM that directly asked ICM via FaceBook PM (screen shot of the PM is seen to show ICM answering) if the rumor's were true about them producing a Tarhe in 1/35th, or if it was just a rumor. Their answer was: "Thats right, we have plans about producing CH-54 in 35th scale! Follow our news!". So it appears at this point that I was wrong on the scale being a mistake. Never been so glad to be wrong! Model_Monkey, alanash1963, John1 and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, even with my aversion to it being in 35th (or anything for that matter!) this is the Helo version of a Tiger Cat for me, and a dream, so beggers not being choosers and all......

Tony T Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Glad to hear it's a bona fide project, but a little miffed it's 1/35, and that future ICM helicopter subjects will very likely all be in battery-powered scale. But hey-ho, it's a fantastic subject and I may become more diversity scale tolerant if they do an HH-53C Super Jolly Tony Derek B and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually considering its size, its actually one of the very few airframes I can see why they chose the smaller large scale. But yes, still a bit miffed it too was not in 32nd, but hey ho, I WILL have one regardless. Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the summer fire season here (fast approaching now), they base one at our local airport, and it often flies low and directly over our house as it comes in after a day's work.

LSP_Ray Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Yup, had one fly over our house, too. Not sure what it was up to. In Portland, watched one set a large HVAC unit on a shopping mall. That was cool. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted September 28, 2021 Author Share Posted September 28, 2021 Are the Erickson S-64s new production, or refurbished/upgraded ex-military CH-54s? Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Licence built by Erikson after purchasing the manufacturing rights. Don't remember exactly when they bought the rights from Sikorsky. The "Incredible Hulk" and most other such S-64s are newly manufactured with TON of changes from the original Sikorsky design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen that article, but it says that only 31 total were “built”, and only one was a new build. The rest were upgraded CH-54A/Bs. thierry laurent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
