If my sources are good, and they usually are, this may well be the last Superscale sheet. The owner of the company wasn't sure if he just wanted to take some time off or quit. If the latter, well it will be sad to see it go as Superscale is probably the longest running decal maker there has been. Like the previous sheet, this one is a reprint and was formerly 48-545. Markings for three aircraft.

All Do-17Zs were painted in the standard RLM 70/71/65 camouflage scheme and altered as the need might arise. The sheet provides enough insignia and some data markings for one of the three options.

First is  an aircraft from 8./KG 77 during the Summer of 1940. The black spinner has a blue tip

Next you have a Stab./KG 3 plane, also from the Summer of 1940. It has a totally blue spinner.

Finally, from Stab./KG 2 in the winter of 1941, this one also has a blue tipped spinner.

So thee you have it. If you have the C.A. Do-17Z and are looking for alternate markings, you now have them.

If Superscale decides to give it up, I'd like to express my thanks for all the wonderful subjects that have been provided to us over the many years.

As a late note, I've been told that this and the previous sheet are not direct copies of the older one and was pointed out that the staffel colors were different on the earlier sheet. I missed that and apologies for any confusion.

My thanks to Superscale for the review sample
