Nanotyrannus lancensis is a juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex, as shown in Carr's
recent article in JVP.  A tyrannosaur skeleton originally described as
Albertosaurus lancensis (which is an older name for Nanotyrannus), and later
called Albertosaurus megagracilis and Dinotyrannus megagracilis, may be a
subadult Tyrannosaurus rex specimen as well, so that is probably the closest
you'll come to getting a Nanotyrannus skeleton.  A skeletal drawing was done
by Tracy Ford in The Dinosaur Society Dinosaur Encyclopedia.  It's not very
useful, however, as the skeleton consists only of an ulna, metacarpal,
manual ungual, partial femur, partial tibia, fibula, astragalus and a nearly
complete foot.
