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.
Building the Fly Arado Ar 234 in 1/32 Scale
In this 164-page eBook, Kent Karlsen builds not one, but two examples of the Fly Arado 234 kit in 1/32 scale.

For his second build, Kent converts kit 32003 into the V6 four-engine prototype, complete with figures and a Sd.Kfz.2 Kettenkrad from Zoukei-Mura.
