Custom paint?
There's a lot of people that will do you a very nice job for less than the cost of a full set of new plastics.

If, by tricolour, you mean the Italian flag colours, then the only official Ducati option is the Logomania IOM 78 scheme:

As Nick suggested, your best bet might be to have a set of panels custom painted to your own specifications.

When I wanted to add 3D M1200 badges, I bought a set of cheap, unpainted, Chinese panels exactly like these:

I think they were only about £60 when I got them. The quality of the moulding was really good. Not unexpectedly, I had to open out some of the mounting holes slightly and also rub down the edges by a couple of millimetres but, after they were painted, they were indistinguishable from the genuine article. (Actually, they were better than OE because the lacquer was deeper.)
