COIL, Aerial Tuning No. 2 A ZA/CAN 4725
Last evening I was able to give the wooden coil case a lat final inspection of the paint work and touch up a few missed bits. It is now resting on the bench for its two week hard cure. It looks a bit odd to me still in Flat Olive Drab paint. Since I saw my first one back in the 1970’s, I have only ever seen them in NATO Green.
I added two photos this time. Essentially the same shot on the bench, then only change being one task light was slightly re-angled to better highlight the interior of the case. But notice how the tone of the Flat Olive Drab suddenly shifts from a green to brown. I am sure i have commented on this before with this paint. In mottled sunlight or shade, it can drive you nuts trying to figure out the actual colour!
My thought at the moment is the first item to reunite with this case will probably be the green felt pad on the floor of it that the coil chassis assembly rests on.
