Sikorsky R5 kits? Do they exist?

[puddingwrestler]

Any of the major manufacturers dabble with these machines back in the day? I could imagine them being produced by monogram or aurora or some such in between jet fighters.

That's some damn fine work - do you have more pics?

Not really. I have some snaps of the build in-progress, but not much else.
I can pull her out of the display case and snap some more tomorrow. Stand by....

Not as far back as the R-5; there was the Revell 1/48th H-19, a Hiller Hornet (brand escapes me), and Hawk's Huskie, but not too many of the real first-generation rotorcraft.

That's a terrific build

You can get the R-4:

and there's a 1/72 kit of the Sikorski V-300 but I can't remember who makes it.
