Does anybody have pictures or drawings of original paint schemes of the 140. I would like to get as authentic as possible when I repaint my aircraft.

The original paint schemes involve a lot of polished aluminum...

Did they have stripes on them though? I've seen some that have piano key stripes on the cowl with 140 and 1 stripe along the side of the fuselage across
the tail and the cessna logo on the tail on top of polished aluminum but I could use a different background like white or some other light color.

The schemes changed from year to year.
