Wafu Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Hi guys. Fairly new here so apologies if this has been done before. I'm looking for any and all info on the CH-64 Skycrane. Any scaled plans, drawings etc that you're aware of? Anyone on this forum who has connections with this majestic helicopter? Maybe a flying R/C model kicking around? I'd like to look into building one in 1/35, yes 1/35 scale and could do with some referance material, photos are great but drawings give dimension. Thanks in advance for any help.

habu2 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) Are you looking for the Sikorsky CH-54 Tarhe? aka S-64 Skycrane ? There are some drawings on Sikorsky's site: http://www.sikorskyarchives.com/S-64_Product_History modX.php edit: no drawings but some good pics in World Air Power Journal vol 5 Edited February 7, 2018 by habu2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tgoetz Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Have you seen the 1/48 build by Philippe Dognon? I can still remember the in progress pictures he would post. Wasn't it Erickson that purchased manufacturing rights to the CH-64? I want to say if requested they will provide some of their drawings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Erickson bought the type certificate and manufacturing rights to the S-64 and remanufactured many retired military CH-54s, mostly for firefighting (water bombing).
