v2.0 of “Building the Fly Arado Ar 234” Now Available!

I’m pleased to announce that No. 5 in our Build Guide Series, Building the Fly Arado Ar 234 in 1/32 Scale by Kent Karlsen, has now been updated to v2.0! As with our other recent book updates, this title has received a major makeover, with extensive layout changes that have yielded 8 extra pages. This expanded layout doesn’t contain any new content, but rather, improves the readability of a few sections that I felt were a little crowded.

Existing purchasers are able to access the updated version for free. Simply log in to your account (or use your original download link) and re-download the book from the Downloads section of your profile. If you don’t have an account or the original download link, please contact me and we’ll sort it out. And of course, new purchasers will always receive the latest version.

Stay tuned for more news and information—we will be announcing our next title very shortly!

Oops!

In my enthusiasm to get the v1.2 update of Building the Revell Me 262B-1/U1 Nachtjäger in 1/32 Scale out to the world, I managed to introduce some weird copy/paste errors on a few of pages. How embarrassment! I’ve fixed these now, and re-uploaded the corrected version of the book. Please note that I have not changed the version number in this instance, so it remains at v1.2. If you have downloaded the update since it was released a few hours ago, please do so again, with my humble apologies for the hassle!

If you need to confirm the version number of your newly downloaded update, just check the bottom of the Copyright page (iii), shown in the example below (from our Ta 152 book):

This is valid for all of our titles, should you ever need to verify which version of any particular book you might have.
