[Elecraft] Cammo KX2? (Was: Copy cat - no way)

[ktalbott at gamewood.net]

I like tan but must admit that yellow might be more practical. Actually, I will use whatever Elecraft chooses as long as they sell little bottles of matching touchup paint. Well, I would actually use any Elecraft color even without the touchup paint.

I grabbed an image of a KX3 drawing and used the 'paint bucket' tool in Paint to create different colored KX3 renditions here:

Some look pretty cool.   You can take these and make your own colored versions ...
