Italian 2-Seat Eurofighter Typhoon Decals?

I'm looking to build the new 1/72 Revell-Germany 2-seat Typhoon in Italian markings (not included in the kit). I've heard that the 1/72 Italeri 2-seat Typhoon kit includes Italian markings. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks,

Martin

the Italeri kit has decals for Spain and UK only.

Hmmm having said that, the UK and Spanish options may simply be those illustrated on the box.

Decals - These are well printed and well detailed and available for each nationality flying the prototypes.

So now I don't know *what* to think...

It took some days to find the box in the attic, but it was worth the answer: "yes" and "no". Actually, the full decals included are just for the German and Spanish examples, the British rendition has just roundels and white serials, then there are six Italian low visibility cockades, enough for Italeri to say that the kit includes Italian markings, but the kit was released long before the first Italian two-seater (pre-series MM.X-614) was completed. Apart from cockades, it should have Alenia logos, the 4th Stormo pranching horse emblem and various stencils, not to mention the lettering near the front cockpit for the Alenia's chief test pilot, and former astronaut, mission specialist of the STS-75, Cdr. Maurizio Cheli. (i.e. see
