"Weiterentwickung von Bf 109 - Motor DB 605 statt DB 601
Druckkabine; verstärkter Flügel ...om Rippen Beplankung) rollengelagerter Vorflügel
elt. Wendekorizont, grundsätzlich mit Leitungsverlegungen für GM 1 Anlage im Flügel und
Leitungen sowie Beschläge für Reichweiten- u. Abwurfwaffenanlage ... Flügelgondelbewaffnung,
Wasser- u. Ölkühlerautomatik, Ölbehälter auf 36l vergrößert Rückenpanzerung u. Kopfschutz, Kühlerpanzerung und Leichtmetallpanzerung"

that´s what I am able to read. The reinforced wing was achieved within spars and skin according to this statements.
