My first repaint

[Waterman981]

I've been loving the A2A Cessna 172 since I picked it up last week. I thought I would give a try to doing a repaint that I can call my own. I was having problems at first, but now have the process down. Now I just need to learn how to make fancy line art on the side of the plane.

So this is based off of one of the A2A designs in the paintkit. I adjusted most of colors, added my avatar to the tail, changed the number, and added stripes on the wings. I'm not sure if I'll keep this as a final design, or change something. I want to keep it simple, yet reflect me.







(Full size images here.)

Once I have finalized it I'll post it so anyone with the A2A 172 can see me in it during group flights.

It is. I've been using that number since we started calling out our intentions.

It was based off this paint:

Nice job, Waterman. Very classy, even if it is a premade. You will get the hang of it and make one you can call your own. Keep it up.

I like it when we learn about modifications in FSX.
