The first flight of the helicopter (originally named S-64) took place on May 9, 1962.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe helicopter was built on a modular principle, which simplified its maintenance and repair. It had a tall three-post landing gear with a front support, which allowed a tractor with a trailer approach its fuselage freely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe helicopter’s powerful winches allowed it to pick up cargo in a hover mode, without the need to land on the ground. During the Vietnam War it evacuated damaged airplanes and various helicopters, transported artillery pieces, cars, tanks and even combat boats on an external sling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was also used to drop high-powered bombs to clear the forest for an airfield. This helicopter set 10 world records for its class, including lifting a 15-ton cargo to 3307 meters. The civilian version of the helicopter (Erickson S-64 Aircrane) is still in successful operation today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 770 mm x 180 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotor Diameter: 630mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e573 parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Marking options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll parts in ICM model kits are highly detailed to fit the reality of the original.
