• Material: resin printed with 3D technology
• The set includes a complete set of air particle separators for both engines

The CH-54A "Tarhe" was an American heavy lift transport helicopter developed by Sikorsky, widely used by the United States since the 1960s, especially during the Vietnam War (Cold War era). Renowned for its ability to lift heavy loads and enable cost-effective field repairs thanks to its modular design. The use of the EAPS system was a breakthrough for helicopter operation in challenging conditions—the air particle separators effectively protected the T73-P-1 engines against sand, gravel, and dust, allowing safe operations from improvised landing sites, in deserts or jungles. These solutions were used for example during equipment evacuation and supply runs to military bases in Vietnam, as well as in postwar operations, until the aircraft were retired in the 1990s.

The offered RESKIT RSU35-0051 set was produced using 3D printing technology, resulting in extraordinary sharpness of details, accurate representation of fine mesh structures and very thin walls, achievable only by this method. The components fit precisely to the ICM model and comprise a complete set for both engines, allowing you to create a diorama with a realistic air intake system—either in combat or service configuration.

Recommendations: We especially recommend this product to advanced modelers and helicopter enthusiasts who wish to take their models to a higher level of detail. Perfect for building contest-quality CH-54A replicas or technical dioramas. Assembly difficulty: 4/5 – experience with resin and modifications to ICM kits is recommended.
