I already have their C.V s.46, will this s.82 have meaningful differences?

According to my sources, the series 82 were WKF build C.V's with a 220hp Benz.IV engine istead of the 185hp Daimler engine.
So mostly it is differant in engine and cooling (radiator and pipes), maybe if they did there homework in the decals.
According to the book (Austro-Hungarian Army aircraft of world war 1) the series 82 in spite of a stronger engine was not a better aircraft than the series 46 because the centre of gravity shifted badly from the much heavier engine

Confirmed now, I will get the kit for review, so I will keep you updated.

As to the differences - I have reviewed the 1/72 scale model in June 2017 which contained very nice PE and resin parts, especially the engine and the MG's. The plastic parts were most probably just slightly reworked original ones (WFK Lloyds had different cowling).
