                        The very first 1/32 Bo-105 I remember was an Italeri boxed by Testors way back 1980.  It had markings for a PHI bird, 201BB.  I worked for Air Marine and we had 209BB and 210BB in 1974 and 1975.  I checked the kit and it has Italeri, Made in Italy on the rear cabin bulkhead.  I would bet Revell used their mold if anything.  Don't have a Revell kit to compare.

                        Yes, Italeri, and others, have reboxed the Revell BO-105 and other Revell kits.  They are all the same kit.

                        I was looking at a couple 1/32 BO-105 kits.  One was from Italaeri and I forgot the other.  Anyway, are those (on the market) pretty much the Revell 105 tooling? 

                        TIA.
