L-4 to NE-1

[jeffknox]

Hello all. New to the forum and enjoying the content very much. I have two friends that are brothers that own a cub each, one is a genuine NE-1 and the other an L-4. Being former Navy I thought if I acquired one I'd like an NE-1 but they seem rare in the marketplace. My question is twofold. What would be the impact on the value of an L-4 in Navy livery and also would it take too much of a penalty to be competitive in judging at shows?
Thanks,
Jeff
