topper71 388 Posted November 2, 2012 Hi guy's, While waiting for the decals which makes me a friend ... for my Tempest Here my new project I would like to built an Avia b 135, I like esoteric planes I look for a LEGATO B 35 for a good departure but I do not find it, a friend had a exemplar of a similar model by Zip Modelism.I moulded all parts here pics of the progress Here the finished model the first molding and sanding for a long,long time ..... I ' drilled the landing gear so give me your first impression, If somebody possesses the model of Legato AVIA B 35 I am always buy it ! regards topper71 2 MARU5137 and Uilleann reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LSP_Kevin 28,965 Posted November 2, 2012 Wow, that looks like a lot of hard work mate! But I admire your dedication, and will be following along. Those wings are certainly reminiscent of a Spitfire though. Kev Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mirek O 507 Posted December 3, 2012 Oh my favorit plane. I had an idea to do it as a kit, but Legato was faster me. (I have their kit at home) Legato have AVIA B-35 first prototype. B-135 was different plane. Different wings, undercarriage and so hon. B-135 was sold only to Bulgary and production was stopped. Will look here daily.
