1/35 Sikorsky S-64E Firefighting Helicopter
ICM 1/35 Sikorsky S-64E Firefighting Helicopter is a plastic kit of the civil heavy-lift helicopter with a water tank, with 559 parts and markings for two aircraft. Paints and glues needed for assembly are not included.
The Sikorsky S-64E Skycrane is used for construction and installation work, heavy cargo transport and rescue missions, and is one of the most effective aerial platforms against large wildfires. The firefighting version carries a tank of about 10,000 litres whose doors are controlled by a microprocessor according to airspeed, and it can be refilled in flight with a pond snorkel or a sea snorkel. The type serves in Italy, Greece, Turkey, South Korea, Australia and the USA, for example with the US Forest Service.
ICM’s 1/35 kit contains 559 parts and three marking options: N154AC “Georgia Peach” and N194AC “Delilah” in two versions, each with the water tank and from the post-2000 period. The finished model measures 775 × 225 mm.
The bold civil colours of the firefighting helicopters make a welcome change from military subjects, and the large model stands out on display or in a diorama of an aerial firefighting base. Paints and glues needed for assembly are not included.
