FSX / P3D Repaint

FSX Luftwaffe Arado Ar-96b GCBV

Luftwaffe Arado Ar-96b GC+BV textures recreate a 1944 Tilsit-Weinhofen airframe with period markings and a clean, faithful finish for FSX. The repaint integrates smoothly into the aircraft selection menu and virtual cockpit experience, and requires the AR96C2.ZIP base package to use.
