FSX Cessna 1970s Skyhawk 172

Cessna Skyhawk 172. Repaint for Carenado C172II N. Paint scheme based on classic 172 Skyhawk circa early 1970s. Used blank textures available from Carenado. By Craig Davis.

This is a repaint of the Carenado Cessna 172N. Made by Carenado for Microsoft's Flight Simulator X. Textures only. Requires the payware Carenado Cessna 172II N.I used the blank textures available from Carenado.
I based this repaint on the classic Cessna Skyhawk 172 Circa early 1970's. The paint scheme comes from a 1/20th scale model I made as a kid.This is my first repaint and I hope you enjoy it. Feel free to tweak with it if you like. I used DXTBmp and Paint.net to do my work. -Craig
