It is called personalization! Some people like to have their planes look a little different then others at the field. I don't want to get into the ARF vs Build argument, but what is an arf anyway? Someone else has framed up a plane for you and you have the right to finish it any way you want. I have a friend that had someone frame up a Zirolli F-4U and he finished it up: glassed, paint, weathering etc, so isn't that an ARC? I have another fiend who scratch builds and will also customize ARFs with glassing and weathering. Some people who don't build but like to finish, some don't like to finish but build. Some people will buy someone else's plane and strip them down and recover and fix them. The great thing about this hobby is everyone has their own idea and opinion on their plane.

So, please with all due respect don't start with the "Why would you want to detail someone elses work?" comments
