1:35 ICM 53103 S-64 Skycrane Crew - 3 Figures Plastic Model kit

Add extra life and realism to your S-64 Skycrane model with the 1:35 ICM 53103 S-64 Helicopter Crew. This plastic model kit contains three crew figures and reflects the unique way in which the iconic S-64 “flying crane” is operated. It is an excellent addition when you want to give an S-64 scene or diorama more character and a convincing operational appearance.

A standard S-64 crew consists of two or three members. In the forward cockpit, two pilots manage flight operations and mission execution. During firefighting missions, the pilot-in-command, seated on the left, also operates the water discharge system. Standard procedure requires the crew to activate a dedicated warning siren before dropping water, allowing personnel on the ground to clear the danger zone.

The copilot sits on the right and assists the pilot-in-command, while also being able to relieve them during extended missions. When required, a third crew member occupies the rear-facing control station. This distinctive feature of the S-64 series, also found on its military predecessor the CH-54, is equipped with a complete set of flight controls.

From this rear position, the operator can fly the helicopter while attaching and precisely positioning sling loads. A specialised bubble window provides direct visual contact with both the load and the placement area. This allows heavy loads to be positioned with exceptional precision, often within centimetres. During missions with a smaller crew, the copilot can move from the forward cockpit to the rear control station when required.
