The statistical approach based on the average unit cell concept was recently successfully applied to structural modelling of icosahedral quasicrystals. The structure factor for arbitrarily decorated icosahedral structure was derived for model Ammann tiling (3D Penrose tiling). It is a fully physical-space model where no higher-dimensional description is needed. In the present paper we show the application of the model to the so-called simple decoration scheme - atomic decoration in the nodes, at mid-edges and along body-diagonal of structural units of 3D Penrose tiling. By analyzing the obtained calculated diffraction patterns we show the correctness of the model and its applicability to binary and ternary icosahedral phases.
