I too, bought the first Dr.I collection, and if I remember correctly,
Rimell had a problem with them. I don't remember the exact problems,
but basically _most_ of the markings were suspect. I now wish I had
that issue of Windsock with me so I could refer to it.

This is a sore subject with me. The "newer" decal companies are
starting to do WW1 subjects, and have no idea about the resources
available. Heck, not only the Datafiles, but Leo, Dan San-Abbott,
and Greg Van Wyngarden. At least SuperScale had the foresight to get
Dan San-Abbott to draft up their Dr.I and D.VII decals.
