CH-54... any ideas

[raphaelmd]

Hello,

 

Any idea when the CH-54 skycrane from ICM will be released???

[Jager]

When the Russians leave?

In another site ICM said the 4th quarter of 1922. I sure hope so, as I'm picking it up as soon as I can.    Cheers.

err......going back to the future then? (slight typo?)

Yep, according to Hannants 4th quarter this year.

I'd be surprised if we see it this year. Seems things got pushed back about a quarter due to the war; their Beaufort was supposed to be released in Quarter II, and it was just released a few weeks ago. I'd expect to see it at the beginning of 2023.

Oki cool for your answers, thank's. 

 

And sorry to send that post like that, I was rushing out on the job in the same time as I was writting

This is one Ive been REALLY looking forward to for a long while.............even before the kit was even a reality. I would rather have a 1/32nd scale CH-54 but for helos it doesn't kill the mood since I have other helicopters in that scale.

I got to see one of these up close when they parked by our hangar at the Fresno Air Terminal all rigged out for fire fighting. What an animal!

Pima Air Museum has a good example of one.

Growing up in Southern California in 70s-80x, seen them flying overhead rather frequently working the high tension wires throughout the area, usually installing the newer towers ... An example would often be on static display at the various air shows as well ... 

As a kid, I often thought they looked like a prehistoric beast ...
