Scott-
The standard antenna sections seen on WW2 US vehicles were painted black. Randy

color codes

But the sections have color codes on the ends, right? Something like 5cm of white, green, yellow, red... color to tell you which section (and end) screws to which.

Cheers,
Pekka

Pekka-
Your correct. The sections were color coded to quickly identify which sections went with which. The top section (MS49)has a green knurled connector. The next section (MS50)is green and yellow,(MS51)is yellow and red, (MS52) red and blue, and (MS53) blue and gray. MS54 is gray on both ends and is used to extend the height of the antenna. These are stacked one on the other until the desired height is reached. When screwed together the colored areas are approx. 3 to 4 inches. Hope this helps.
Randy
