It carried a variety of weapons, ammunition, and vehicles including excavators, bulldozers, trucks, and boats. In addition to carrying combat equipment, the CH-54A was also used as a carrier for the M-121 super-heavy bomb. Such bombs were dropped in order to quickly clear the forest under the helipad. This allowed for a shorter landing time and a more flexible response to a tactical situation. For these tasks, the M-121 was partially upgraded – the rear hull and tail stabilizers were removed and a special parachute was added to slow its fall. The bombs were also equipped with an elongated nose detonator to provide a blast height of about 3 feet off the ground. These upgraded bombs were used until they were out of stock, the last being used on 8 August 1970.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKit Features:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSCALE : 1:35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTIME PERIOD : After 1950\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMARKINGS : Sikorsky CH-54A Tarhe 67-18416 with M-121 bomb, 478 HHC (1st Cavalry Division), Phu Bai Air Base, autumn 1968.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMODEL SIZE (LENGTH X WIDTH) : 774 x 225 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBOX SIZE : 410 x 260 x 55 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNUMBER OF DETAILS : 604\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/35   \u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICM Models   \u003cstrong\u003eItem:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICM53055\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: ICM Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubject: Sikorsky CH-54A Tarhe with  BLU-82\/B Daisy Cutter Bomb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: ICM53055\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct type: Aircraft Model Kits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/icm-models\"\u003eICM Models\u003c\/a\u003e, browse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/model-aircraft\"\u003eModel Aircraft\u003c\/a\u003e or prepare your next project with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tools-supplies\"\u003eTools \u0026amp; Supplies\u003c\/a\u003e at Mega Hobby.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ICM Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67974310166602,"sku":"ICM53055","price":226.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/3066\/5546\/files\/icm53055-135-icm-sikorsky-ch-54a-tarhe-w-blu-82b-daisy-cutter-bomb-preorder-squadron-model-models__15168.1704401075.jpg?v=1794549000","url":"https:\/\/megahobby.com\/products\/icm53055","provider":"Mega Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
