| I believe they are available now. They are also available from squadron.com on their website. The "Zotz guy" was at the Squadron Open House last summer, I still have his card. |

As a Viper freak I have for years the wish to build a Viper (better even two!!!) of every Small Airforce. I have now four Israeli Vipers, one Norwegian, and one Singaporean version in 1/72 scale. What I do need is some good decals of the following Airforces: Thailand, Pakistan, South Korea, Indonesia, Egypt, Jordan, Italy Turkey (with right stencilling) and Denmark!!! A few decalfirms have promised a decalsheet with foreign Vipers but sofar nothing has appeared. F.i. I have a wish since 1983 to build a Pakistani Viper or a South Korean one somewhat later. And stil there is nothing on the marked. I know lots of US people are not interested in Vipers in Small Airforces but they have such wonderful camouflages. Always when Two Bobs, Superscale or any of these famous firms are announcing a Viper decalsheet I have hopes there is at least one Foreign version on the sheet. But no!! Again some infamous USAF squadron of one that played part in OEF or Iraq. I can understand but please understand also my point of view!
You can imagine this frustrates!! |

faassen, stay tuned, I am working on a decal roundup to compliment my kit roundup pages. You are right though, markings for many of the export users are not available or are hard to find.
A decal producer can only make accurate decals for aircraft that are well documented. As Two Bobs is in California and Bob is ex-USAF you can see why most of his work relates to US aircraft. Another option is to contact Mike Grant, he will make custom decals for a reasonable price if you can provide adequate source material.
Personally I think a series of "F-16s of the World" decal sheets would be a smashing success!!! |

Ok, so Zotz F-16 tails decals are seperately sold, as opposed to the Albatros sheet that hass them all?! As I look, all the Zotz markings are on the Albatros sheet,

| Zotz is a line under the Albatros company umbrella - kind of like how DACO handles Astra. AFAIK there is no Albatros sheet with all the decals. I think the sheet you are seeing is just an advert. |

Oh, Victory Models is listing them too (but Squadron is cheaper) Shipping may be the equalizer there...
http://www.victorymodels.com/catalog.htm
(from the Victory site)
A sister company to Albatross. This line specializes in aircraft featuring intricate artwork and sometimes only includes one or two large decals per set, however the artwork and subject selection is amazing. |

Yeah, and at the rate Belgium paints up their birds with fantastic tail art I can see those decals becoming an expensive hobby...
Prediction - the sheets will sell out in a few short months, with only a few sheets ever really used. After a while the unused sheets will pop up on eBay and go for Really High Prices. |

| Yeah, but $39 for basically 6 decals? Even that's not a guaranteed return. |
