They may not be available anywhere, but they do exist.

Picture from this very forum:

Hm, you can get one with browns (http://cgi.ebay.com/Filco-87-White-Mechanical-Gaming-keyboard-Cherry-BROWN-/300578774669?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item45fbe41e8d) and switch the innards for blues.

I think I proposed a similar solution to someone who wanted a Ninja with blues. When the day is over, truth is that it's just a case.

I'm thinking about this, but I'm scared that I might **** something up. It's definitely something I'm willing to do if my desperation becomes too much to bear. D=

I'm gonna strip a brand new Filco soon and will let you know if it blew in my face. Hope it doesn't.

Is there a fairly recent guide for swapping plate mounted switches? The one in Ripster's sig is for pcb mounted switches and the plate mounted guide he posted is down.

Yeah, it's called soldering 101.

This is what we call "trolling 101".

Swapping the entire insides into a different body would be trivial. It's just popping open the shells and moving one into the other. Use a flathead to pop off the top bezel, pull the rubber feet off the bottom to get at the screws that hold the pcb / plate assembly in place. Why would you need to solder anything?

The OP needs 2 Filcos for this mod.
It's cheaper to replace the switches.

FWIW qtan says that white Filcos with blues do exist, but he doesn't have any right now:
