From time to time aircraft are specially marked either as zaps or to commemorate a specific event. This one has the look of both as it is to commemorate 3,000 flight hours of a specific aircraft and was done with temporary white paint. The white markings are quite large and cover much of the upper surface of the aircraft. I am sure they lasted for just a single flight before being removed.

This particular sheet contains only the unique markings for D-8337 of 312 Squadron in 1982. As such, it is more of a supplement sheet and is to be used along with sheet DD48043. In addition, there are a set of temp paint marks for the fin of D-8603 'Mirror Image' of 311 Squadron in 1982 as well.

In all it is an excellent sheet that is superbly printed. The instruction sheet is large and in full color with not only a markings guide, but a photo or two to help out. This one is sure to sell out rather quickly so get yours as soon as you can.

Thanks to www.dutchdecal.nl  for the review sheet. You can get yours at your favorite shop. This is Dutch Decal's 25th Anniversary so congratulations to Luuk and his gang for providing interesting markings for the last quarter century.
