Radios???
I am restoring my Canadian 54-82506 ferret to the UNEF era. That would include paint, markings, weapons and of course the radios. I have a sense that in 1956 they would have been using the WWII 19 sets....true?
Would anyone have any schematics of the set-up and what would be included? Any pics?

Not sure Alan but perhaps the C42 is more suitable

Your right Chris, the C42 would be the easier default but if I go to all the trouble of restoring to a UNEF 1956 service look I want put the comm system issue at that time. I am hoping that it is the C42......but when were the C42 s issued? I guess I should take a close look at the headsets the soldiers are wearing and maybe the antenae on the ferrets.

Alan, I believe that the C42 was in developement in the late 40s but its use was not widespread until the 1950s. It was first issued to armoured units.
Perhaps someone with more initmate knowledge of the Canadian Armoured Corps during your timeframe would have a better answer.

But I also noticed yellow paint on the steering box behind the wheel. I plan on going original so that would mean going with the yellow paint.
anyone seen this before?
