Brainstorm here, If they were to come out with an all blue body, the leave the decals off. But have a decal set that can cover Navy, Marines in both WWII and Korea eras. Just a matter of omitting a stripe here and/or words there to make the difference.
It may make the end cost a bit more but that would give guys a wide range of birds that they would want to portray.
They could even offer a birdcage canopy kit to sell separately, similar to the razor back addon for the P-47.

BBOwen, I like the way you brainstorm. I have a very specific requirement for markings. Yeah, it's an F4U-4, but I'd accept any model if I could just get a giant scale ARF without decals or multiple colors already on it. That's my dear old daddy over North Korea.

Here is one I thought of. How about covering it in cloth (Coverite or the like there of). KMP has this on several of there planes and gives a good second to glassing. It doesn't wrinkle as bad as normal covering and if it does it lays back down easier. Go ahead and paint but that way it can easily be repainted in whatever color scheme you like. Next if you would like to glass, it comes off much easier than plastic covering. I am bashing a Skyshark P-40 right now and when I peeled all the cloth off the wing to glass it came off so easy compared to plastic covering. I personally would like to all Warbird ARF's be covered in cloth. I would gladly pay extra for it not to mention Warbirds just don't look good with a shine.

Here is a link to the news letter. http://www.troybuiltmodels.com/Newsletter.htm Scroll down to 95" Corsair. That one is going to be out of my price range but I do love that someone has a birdcage corsair coming out. It is a good looking airplane.
