Default RE: updated pics Pershing Question


ORIGINAL: pattoncommander

Here are a couple photos of mast bases..The M-29 Weasel has the MS 86, the short base with three antenna masts.

My Dodge WC-51 has the MB-48 (misnamed in my previous post as MB-50.) this has the thick "fishpole" antenna. The bast base can bee seen on both sides, as I had the main radio (SCR-508) in the center and an BC-1000 on the right side. Either mast base can be used as a secondary/inf radio on the Pershing with the short antenna. Later Pershings (1953 on)with the new AN/GRC-3 radios had the RT-70 radio for Inf contact and they required the smaller MS-86 base. Both are easy to make...paint the middle section on the MB-48 and base on the MB-86 dark wine....they are ceramic.
Hope this helps.
