Sikorsky S-60 Flying Crane and S-64 Skycrane

[hovermd]

There are a lot of terrific Sikorsky helicopter inspired toys out there...

This post will focus on the S-60 Flying Crane, a one-off prototype aircraft, and its offspring, the S-64 Skycrane that was produced to fill a number of heavy-lift helicopter missions.

First, here is a fantastic S-60 toy released by Alps of Japan:

Next we have a couple examples of the S-64. The first is by Masudaya (Modern Toys) of Japan:

The second by TT (Takatoku) of Japan:

A somewhat "liberal" interpretation by Siku of German. The Sikorsky Turbinen-Kranhubschrauber:

Ooh, thanks for posting those photos, the Alps toy looks just great, and I'll have to add the TT brand to my list as I have never heard of that particular toy before. TT as you know is best known for those friction 727s that one commonly finds, but that 'copter is certainly very uncommon!

I am ever so jealous of your flying cranes...

I finally found the stand for my Alps Sikorsky S-60 toy:

Here's Masudaya's Traffic Control Helicopter version of the Skycrane:
