V Topdrawings 14 Arado Ar 196 All models jsou stejné výkresy jako v monografii, kterou Kagero vydalo minulý rok?

W Topdrawings 14 Arado Ar 196 All models są te same rysunki jak w monografii opublikowane przez Kagero zeszłym roku?

As far as I know, the author made some corrections and additions.

Pokud je mi známo, autor udělal některé opravy a doplnění.

[Michal Bradáč]

Nevíte jaké změny provedl?
Viděl autor časopisy REVI 81 a 83?

Nie wiecie jakie zmiany?
Autor widział magazyn REVI numer 81 i 83?

As far as I know, the author of the drawings has an account on this forum, and I think he will be the best person to reply you.
I'll let him know about your questions.
