Study the drawings of assembly steps carefully before starting the work onthe model. Make sure you understand the purpose and place of everypart.

The assembly requires some basic tools, such as scissors, sharpmodeling knife, blunt knife for scoring the fold lines, ruler and needle.Additional materials you need are one pin to make the airscrew shaft andone piece of cardboard approx. 0.3 mm thick for reinforcing elements andwheels. You'll need of course suitable cement too. For cement applicationyou can use toothpicks or some similar tool (special fine cement applicatoris most suitable if you have one).

Start with the central fuselage segment 1. Do not forget to cut the holeson it where the wing longerone 7 will be placed. Glue the connectingstripes 1a to the backside of the segment and glue it in cylindrical form.Place formers 1b and 1c in its edges, keeping coincidence of the linesof symmetry.

Continue with the segment 2. Carefully form its exhaust sockets, givingthem concavity, following the shape of the former 2a. Then glue it to 1.

Assembly the tail segment 3, assuring smooth transition of its ovalshape in the front edge to flat vertical shape of the rear. Glue 4 to 1.Form and assembly the cockpit 5 - 5d and position it on the fuselage.Add the vertical stabilizer 6, 6a, keeping the symmetry of the model.

Prepare wing's longerone 7 - 7b and insert it in the holes of 1. Glue it to1 and then place two wing profiles 7c,d on it. Assembly the wing halves8 and 9 and glue them to fuselage, inserting the longerone 7 in them ina way that the profiles stay in their bases. Glue the wing-fuselage joints10 and 11, applying the glue on their joint places on 1, 3, 8 and 9. Cutand assembly horizontal stabilizer 12 and 13 and glue it to 3.

Continue with the engine cowling 14 - 17. Be extremely careful duringgluing the formers 14 c and 14 d. the last one must be positioned 3 mminside 14. Control the joint of the segment 14 to the front of thefuselage until drying the glue.

Assembly the propeller bearing 18 and propeller hub 19 - 21, using apin as a propeller shaft. Add the propeller blades 22, 22a and insert theshaft in 18, gluing 1d on the backside of the shaft, ensuring freerotation of the propeller. Glue the engine assembly to 2b and add

exhausting pipes 23

Assembly the lending gear 24 - 28. Cut the wheels parts 26 from thickcard, glue them together, round their edges with sandpaper and paintthem in black.

Complete the model adding remaining small details - carburetor intake30, antenna mast, tail support, Pitot tube and armament.

If you prefer flying model, assemble it with retracted undercarriage andabandon propeller blades. Add some weight in the nose for appropriatemodels balancing - its center of gravity must be on approximately 25% ofthe average wing chord.

Now yourmodel is ready. Enjoy your IAR 80.
