Zotz Decals 1/48
F-16 Vivacious Vipers

Hot off the press the Vivacious Vipers came to Arizona.

The name is ZOTZ (from the Mayan word for Vampire). Behind ZOTZ is the well known name of Eli Raphael who has given us many colorful decal releases under the Albatros brand.

With the Vivacious Vipers Eli releases again another colorful and well researched set of decals.

In the plastic bag you will find three pages full of decals and two small decal papers with corrections. There are three color pages with instructions and very complete histories about the depicted subjects.

It is very nice when you get a little history on the plane you are going to model. Another nice touch is the naming of the respective air forces in their native tongue.

The decals themselves are very vibrant with color and very much in register. I run my finger over the decal paper and noticed that Eli's printing house did not skimp at all on the amount of pigment they used!

In the set you will find decals for the following nations:

• Bahrain
• Egypt (with orange ID markings)
• Denmark (NATO 50th anniversary)
• Pakistan
• Portugal
• Greece (offers option for the hawk on the tail)
• Turkey (nice to see some "color" on the tails!)
