1953 170B logos questions

Post by Sherwood »

Hello all, this is my first post after many years of off-and-on again membership. My 170B has not flown since the 1990s and is getting very, very close. :-)

I need some help ordering the logos for the plane. I have 303 Cessna Dwg 0500013 paint layot for 53.pdf which shows the entire plane and references two logos: the Cessna 170 and wing or bird design and the 170 for the door. I also have the copy of the paper drawing for 304-1 Cessna dwg 0500018-2 170_logo for 53.jpg.pdf which shows the Cessna 170 wing design for the empennage and the 170 for the door.

I also have the master file for the tail logo, 170 and the CESSNA with a stylised A design.
 
I have two questions. 

1. Does the Cessna 170 and wing design need to be reversed? I have seen the wing pointing to the rear of the plane on the 0500013 drawing and I have seen it reversed on the other side in at least one picture of a 1953. Can someone please confirm whether or not the design should be the same on both sides (pointing back on one side and forward on the other side), or if it should be reversed?

2. I can't see anywhere for the CESSNA and stylised A design to go on the plane. I don't see it on the pictures of the 1953s I have seen online, and it is not mentioned in dwg 0500013. Perhaps I do not need this design. Can anyone please comment?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I made that file, so I can help.

Cessna “bird” isn’t reversed, that’s why there’s only one in the file. They only made one stencil.

Cessna block lettering doesn’t go anywhere on the 1953. It was only under the prop on the 1948-1952.
