A-Model 72316 Bo-105 CBS Armada de Chile MBB UH-05 1/72

The plastic model kit A-Model 72316 Bo-105 CBS Armada de Chile MBB UH-05 in 1/72 scale is a precisely reproduced miniature of the German multi-purpose helicopter Bölkow Bo 105 CBS in service with the Chilean Navy (Armada de Chile). This kit is designed for modelers seeking a realistically reproduced and less common variant of the helicopter in a scale that matches a wide range of military collections.

The Bo-105 CBS is a German helicopter developed by Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB), which saw extensive use worldwide from the late 1970s. The CBS version is distinguished by its enlarged cabin compartment. This helicopter has been used for transport, patrol, rescue, and maritime support missions by countries such as Germany, Spain, and Chile. In the Chilean Navy, the helicopter was designated the MBB UH-05 and participated in patrol and SAR (Search and Rescue) operations over Pacific waters from the 1980s to the present day. Thanks to its unique depiction of Chilean livery and markings, this model is especially appealing to collectors of South American equipment and naval aviation.
