Try vpmedia's skinmod. I've changed all the defaults to generic skins with markings only then I use Mat Manager for the squadron codes.

~S~GBrutus,
That was a great suggestion, and I have started switching my default skins for RAF birds over to ones with roundels only, using vp_media's SKINMOD/MAT Manager with roundels off.

The only bird I'm having problems with is the Mosquito Mk IV. Apparently selecting another default skin for this bird does not work with vp_media's SKINMOD; anyone noticed this/come up with a workaround?
