The International Cessna 170 Association

I appreciate the leads. I will check into them. I thought for sure Barkweave Brown was stated somewhere on the forum for a 49. But I now see that Barkweave Brown is an assumption I made as it is only noted for a 48. That being said the Cessna sales order for my 49 says color red. The pack list says ...

This is a wild shot but is there a swatch I can get for 49 upholstery fabric? I think, think, I can get it reproduced. Not cheap but just might be doable. If anyone has junk upholstery with 4 or so square inches maybe I can do it. I believe it is the barkweave brown for the red 49's.

Thanks much. It does!

Thanks, you’re sense is serving you well. Your comments are reassuring.

Looks like I got a 50 paint scheme on my 49. Unless they transitioned to it during the 49 build. Among other things the front big curve on mine is more pointed instead of the flowing curve on an original.

Now that I am aware of the MX library I see that you already have this picture posted there.

It shows the thin stripe transition to wide when going over the top. No top of fin or horizontal tip painted but the wing tips were. Wheel paints are all red less the thin polished area. The 170 logo is there. and the unpainted stripe goes to and around the nose bowl. No underside of wing N number M...

Hey how about this picture. It came with the mountain of stuff I got when I bought the plane a couple of weeks ago. It is a laminated actual phot (because I can feel the thick edge under the lamination) of a 170A. In front of the Cessna Aircraft Co.office! Maybe it is a actual Cessna promotional pho...

I don't know why they are posting sideways.

Here is a picture I took yesterday. The underside of the wings is painted an aluminum color from the spar back . I assume to lessen the. upside down polishing. And yes, it is a 49. Basically I want to decide if this was judged how it would fair. Looks to me like the fin top should be polished. Wing ...

Seems like there is alot of continuing debate on what the original colors are. I mean at least what a modern code is. If I am mistaken please advise as I would like to have those for the interior colors especially. My exterior is polished with red accents. Looks like insignia red but who knows. I wi...

It’s interesting that your baggage compartment sidewall panels are like the IPC depicts them for the ‘48 — two piece rather than three panels like the 170A IPC shows. Are there snap socket fasteners attached to the fuselage along the left rear corner of the baggage compartment? If so, that might in...

I believe mine looks exactly like that. Heres a picture

My incompetence is holding me back from posting pictures. I will figure it. But in the meantime: The "light conductor" is unfortunately missing Going halfway up the firewall is what I believe is piece of original carpet. It is a brown. Pretty ugly! Also above that and presumably behind it...
