The Revell Germany kit in 1/72 is the only Skycrane kit I know of currently available.

I think there was one from Aurora too but I'm not sure about that or the scale.

 

Someone did post a larger scale scratchbuilt Skycrane awhile back, it might turn up in a search.

Aaron is right.  It has only been done in 1/72.  The Aurora one was alos 1/72.

Are the current Revell of Germany CH-54 and the Aurora CH-54 the same kit? If not, does the Aurora kit get the shape of the nose right? That's the biggest let-down of the Revell kit.

I think they are the same basic kit. Think Revell "cleaned" it up

GDJ, thanks. There is so much good resin stuff coming out at the moment for helicopters that, hopefully, someone will come out with a corrected cockpit-gondolla for this great kit.
