ICM Sikorsky S-64E Skycrane with Universal Pod - 1:35 Scale Helicopter Model Kit

ICM Sikorsky S-64E Skycrane with Universal Pod 1:35 Scale Helicopter Model Kit

The ICM Sikorsky S-64E Skycrane with Universal Pod is a 1:35 scale plastic model kit depicting the civilian heavy-lift helicopter widely used for construction, installation work, cargo transport, and rescue operations. The S-64E Skycrane is well known for its external load-carrying capability and modular design, allowing it to transport large and unconventional payloads.

This kit includes the universal transport container, originally developed for the military CH-54 helicopter to expand its transport capacity. These containers were designed with windows, doors, and a rear loading ramp, enabling them to carry equipment such as artillery pieces, light vehicles, or personnel. A total of 22 containers were produced for military use, each with its own registration number. Many were later repurposed for civilian Skycrane operations and repainted in the bright orange colour scheme associated with the S-64E.

The model accurately represents both the helicopter and container, with options to display the container with open doors and rear ramp. Decals are included for markings on both the helicopter and the pod. Supplied unpainted and requiring assembly, this kit is suited to experienced modellers with an interest in modern utility helicopters and heavy-lift aviation.
