Details

The Sikorsky CH-37 Mojave was a large, heavy-lift helicopter designed for the United States Army in the 1950s, primarily to transport troops, vehicles, and supplies.

Designated as the H-37 until 1962, it was one of the largest helicopters of its time and notable for its twin radial engines mounted in nacelles on the sides of the fuselage, providing a distinctive appearance and substantial lifting power.

Key features:

Engines: Equipped with two Pratt & Whitney R-2800-54 radial engines, delivering a combined power of over 4,000 horsepower.
Capacity: Capable of carrying up to 26 fully equipped troops or 24 litters for medical evacuation. The CH-37 could also transport vehicles, artillery, and other heavy cargo internally, or underslung loads.
Range: It had a range of approximately 430 miles (700 km) and could reach speeds up to 132 mph (213 km/h).
Design: The CH-37 had a distinctive fuselage with a nose-mounted ramp for easy loading and unloading of cargo and vehicles.

In service from 1956 to the early 1970s, the CH-37 was mainly used for logistics and support missions, including notable use during the early stages of the Vietnam War and in various recovery operations, such as retrieving downed aircraft.

Its development represented a significant advancement in rotary-wing transport capabilities for the era.

Short Description	Sikorsky CH-37 Mojave Twin engined, piston engined helicopter, also called Deuce, was at its time the world's largest helicopter. It was also deployed in the Vietnam war, operated both by the US Army and US Marines. This model kit is back on offer, now reissued with a new sprue with fuel tanks of the correct size. Those in the earlier edition were quite bigger than needed. The three schemes remain the same.
