They need the gun belts.But it's fun to do custom work also.
As for decals for the 1/28 Dr.1 it's very hard to find different markings.

I think the best Dr1 kits I have built are the DML 1/48 kits. The 1/28 Hobbycraft kit is based on the Revell, the ailerons on the Hobbycraft equal designs, not so on Revell's who must have based their's on Stapenorst's 144/17.

Both Roden and Hobbycraft have 1/32 scale Dr1s, neither which I have bought or built because I have dozens of 1/48 scale kits to build first.
