Usually the helicopter models on large scales are attractive in nature. Large parts, details on display and a great opportunity to create even more realistic details.

This model from Revell Germany is no different. A beautiful copy that can not miss the collection of any scale model 1 / 32. Highly detailed, this kit once assembled certainly draws the attention of any observer.

The injection is a traditional Revell, with a few barbs but nothing to panic the modeler. The highlights are the large quantity of parts and details. The model can be mounted version with wheels or skis, thus opening a huge range of paint options and countries.

The model can be fitted with doors open or closed, since the hinges are articulated.

This is a great kit, highly recommended, and that once assembled is very good on the bookshelf of any modeler and will certainly make a difference in naming conventions and exhibitions, since we can hardly find Allouetes 1 / 32 assembled there. Note 10 for this kit.

The Bo-105, designed in the mid 60s and manufactured by the year 2001, represents the maximum use of composite materials and use new technologies in helicopters. It is one of the few with rotor disk, allowing a repertoire maneuvers before so made by fixed-wing aircraft, as loops and Immelmanns.

It is also a leading anti-tank helicopters in the world, small enough to hide among trees and agile as Lynx.

The kit of the Revell / Italeri is not as amazing as the Bo-105 from real life. It is an old kit and even on the scale 1 / 32, is limited in the details.

In the cockpit seats are very simplistic and there are no collective pitch levers. In general, much must be done on scratch inside the kit. The front doors are separate and can be assembled open or closed. The main rotor is relatively detailed but has a mast height of a little low between the star and head of the rotor.

The Italeri kit is the Bo-105p (PAH-1), the initial version of the production of short fuselage, used by the German army. Six tubes HOT missiles and a target ceiling are included. If the modeler wishes, simpler version naked Bo-105C is available with Dutch insignia.

The decals are well printed but it comes with plenty. Only numbers and insignia of identification are included, besides the danger signal indicative of the tail rotor.
For those who like the Bo-105, is a painstaking assembly. And certainly gratifying.
