This can be done right in the Mods Folder.
F:\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\MODS\National Markings\paintschemes\decals\States
The file is named whitestar1.tga
If I remember correctly you can go to SimmersPaintShop and download files that have all kinds of national insignias. Pick out the dark blue circle with white star without the bars. Use Photoshop or equivalent to get it to the correct size 64 x 64 pixels and save it as a .tga file and name it whitestar1.tga. Then the correct color blue and size of the star appear on the Corsair MkI when using this bird as the F4U-1 for USN or USMC, the P-400, P-39N etc.
This is what I did and I no longer have that US National Insignia that resembles a Russian lend lease aircraft where upon arrival in Russia the VVS simply painted the white star red and enlarged it to where the points of the star extended beyond the blue circle. In the game Oleg made a red star version of this insignia for Russia and made a white copy of this version of the insignia for USN, USMC & USAAF. This only occurs when you take a US plane that Oleg slotted as a non us country aircraft and you select USN, USMC or USAAF.
Otherwise you can download and install IL2 Mat Manager and it will correct the markings and enhance other stuff too.
