This new decal sheet from Zotz Decals includes markings for 5 different 1/48 Italian F-16's including one with a 90th anniversary paint scheme featuring a huge black greyhound dog along both sides of the aircraft and a big octopus on the tail.  This paint scheme was in honour of the 90th anniversary of the birth of 23rd Gruppo in 2008.  

Special thanks goes to Pierpaolo Magliofor all his help making this decal sheet possible. 

The 5 aircraft include one with the greyhound anniversary paint scheme and 4 grey jets with various interesting paintwork on the tails.

• F-16 ser # not on aircraft.  Two tone grey paint scheme with light grey markings and octopus artwork on the tail and greyhound artwork all over the aircraft.

• F-16 ser # 82-1001 in 2006.  Two tone grey paint scheme with light grey markings and 2006 Soccer World Cup winner markings that included a gold cup and 4 stars on the tail (one star for each time Italy won the  World Cup).  These special markings also included an Italian flag on the front fuselage.  These markings were short lived.  This plane would be correct if you also decided to fit an (motorbike) red travel pod.

• F-16 ser # 82-0942.  Two tone grey paint scheme with light grey markings and black checkerboard on the rudder.  

• F-16 ser # 82-1005.  Two tone grey paint scheme with light grey markings and green checkerboard on the white and black travel pod.  Plus there is greyhound artwork on the tail.  

• F-16 ser # 81-0713.  Two tone grey paint scheme with light grey markings and black stallion artwork on the tail and sides of the engine intake.  This plane would be correct if you also decided to fit an (motorbike) red travel pod.
