Momoya Helicopters

There are some nice posts on airplane toys made by Momoya of Japan.

Momoya teamed with Nikko to also make some nice battery-operated Sikorsky S-55 / H-19 Chickasaw helicopter toys.

Here's the more common Atlantic H-5:

Here's the Airport Helicopter Taxi:

These U.S. Army toys are only marked Nikko, but the box on the battery-operated toy carries the Momoya symbol.

Those are good-looking Momoyas ! The helicopters are nicely-proportioned. Most of this firm's other aircraft are toy-like caricatures such as the jet passenger plane with the too-short fin and connie fuselage. The B-50 super forts are nice-looking, though, if you can find one (they're rare).
