Avia B-135 WT Suggestion

Title: Avia B-135, Tier 2 2.7BR premium for Germany

This was the first Czechoslovak Monoplane Fighter to enter production and also the first one with retractable landing gear to enter service. However due to fall of Czechoslovakia in March 1939, only 12 productions were built (not counting the prototypes)

Germans captured one for a while but the 12 were then transported to Bulgaria and they became the primary users of this fighter.

A little caution point to the 3D modeller
B.35-3 (Final Prototype) only differed to the Production B-135 in terms of wing shape. The wing at the front is rounded for B-35 whilst it’s straight on the B-135
