ROYAL BULGARIAN AIR FORCE
On March 30, 1944 Capt. Kr. Atanasov with his group of four
AVIA B-135 attacked the formation of 80 B-24 Liberators near
Sofia and managed to shoot down one of them. It was the only
combat flight of this type of aircraft, normally used as an
advanced trainer in Royal Bulgarian Air Force.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION
The proposed AVIA B135 model is comparatively easy to be build but its high level of similarity to
the real aircraft requires special attention and high precision during the assembly process.
Study carefully the illustrative drawings, cutouts and present instruction before starting the work on
the model. Try to imagine the separate assembly phases and the purpose of each detail.
After the acquaintance with the model, you may start the assemblage. Follow the sequence given in
the instruction. Cut the necessary details shortly before using them in order to avoid possible
mistakes. Score all fold lines before cutting the details. The places of scoring are marked with small
thin lines on the continuation of fold lines outside the parts. The small red line markings show where
to make cuts on the wing-fuselage joint cowlings.
Do not be in a hurry with gluing - carefully check and shape the details until obtaining the exact and
correct fit. Before starting the work get hold of the necessary tools: scissors, sharp modeling knife,
blunt knife for scoring the fold lines, prickle, ruler, nippers and grinding paper. Additional materials
necessary for the assemblage are: sheet of cardboard with thickness approximately 0.5 mm, a piece
of wire with diameter 0.5 - 0.8 mm. Supply with proper glue. BISON Clear Adhesive, UHU or
similar are recommended as the most appropriate ones. Water based glue is not recommended.
Preparation for assembling includes gluing page 3 that contains formers and strengthening elements
on a cardboard.
Before starting the assemblage you’ll have to choose the difficulty level of your model. Two options
are included – junior and expert level assemblage. The parts needed for expert level are marked with
magenta colored numbers, and the parts needed for junior level are marked with cyan colored
numbers.
Start wit the cockpit interior 1 as it is shown on a view A of the instruction drawings. Form it
carefully and assembly it by using connecting stripes 1a and 1b. Form the fuselage segment 2, glue
on it connecting stripes 2a – 2d and close it. Insert in it former 2e, then insert from the rear the
cockpit interior part 1 and complete the segment by fixing on its place the former 2f.
Continue with the fuselage segment 3. Glue transparent part 3t, form it, glue the connecting stripes
3a and 3b and close it. Glue the rear part of the cockpit 3d and anti capotage frame 3e. Then glue it
to the segment 1, strictly keeping lines of symmetry.
Glue inside the cockpit ruder pedals 4, instruments panels 5 and 5a, gun sight 5b-5t, control rod 6,
pilots sit 7 and belts 7a.
Assembly the cockpit glassing 9, by forming it and gluing the transparent parts 9t and 9ta. Be careful
and avoid mess. Note that despite the weathering of the aircraft during its field exploitation, tha part
that is always kept crystal clear is the cockpit glassing.
If you’ve choused junior option, you can omit interior and use the parts 8, 8a for the cockpit
glassing.
Continue with the rear part of the fuselage as it is shown on the view B. Assembly by already known
way and fix on their places the fuselage segments 10, 11 and 12. Don’t forget to cut the hole in the
segment 12 for the horizontal stabilizer longerone. Despite the normal former, glue on the rear side
of 12 the vertical stabilizer longerone 12d, 12e. Then assembly and glue the vertical stabilizer 13 -
13b.
Now return to the nose part of the fuselage, following view C. Assembly the fuselage segment 14,
leaving place for the wing longerone. To obtain its correct shape glue the sub former 14c before the
former 14d. Then glue 15 to the fuselage subassembly B.
The following work can be a bit tricky if the expert level is choused – the modeling of the bullets
channels in the engine cowling is tricky work and if you are not precise enough the results can be
worse then those obtained in junior level. If you prefer expert level you need to cut the chanels on
segments 15, 16 and 17 and to use bullet channels 18 and 19, together with the mashie guns 18a,
19a. In both cases the fuselage segment 15 contains the composite former for shaping the bottom
cooling air exhaust 16. Assembly the former in following sequence: Form 15, glue the connecting
stripes 15a - 15d, close it, glue the composite former 15f - 15h, then 15i and fix it to 14. Continue
with segments 16 and 17. Note that segment 17 needs careful forming. At this point the fuselage
form is spitted in two ovals - one for the nose 20, and the other for the air-cooling intake18.
Follow the Part number sequence during assemblage of the nose. You can see the results on view D.
Continue with the wing /view D/. Assembly the wing frame /parts 27 32/, wheels housings 32, 33
and cover them with the wing skin parts 34,35. Keep the dihedral angle and do not avoid twisting of
the wing.
Glue the wing to the fuselage C and then place the wind-fuselage fillets 36, 37.
Insert the horizontal stabilizer longerone 39 in the fuselage segment 12, glue the profiles on their
places. Assembly the horizontal stabilizer parts 41,42 and glue them to the fuselage.
Assembly the propeller bearing 54 and propeller itself /55-60/, keeping the symmetry and the angle
of attack of the blades 59, 60. The propeller should rotate free in its bearing.
Assembly the undercarriage as it is shown on the view E. Glue it to the wing and tail and control its
correct position until during the glue. Then insert the propeller bearing in the fuselage nose.
Complete the model by aging the Pitot tube 61 and the antenna mast 62. /View F/.
Now your AVIA B-135 model is ready.
Enjoy!
