[Milsurplus] Navy Gray Over-Paint

[Thekan, Paul]

I have a early 50's BC 787 (S-36) that the front panel is smooth and painted in OD green. The WW2 version that I have of the BC 787 and RBK is painted black with the leatherette panel finish.

I remember something about it being posted here some years ago Dave
(by Rob Flory perhaps?). It covered things like RBBs, RBCs, TCSs and
so on. Late 40s/Early 50s time line. The RBK-16 is from the 52-53
period and came from the factory in gray. As did the R-649 Coast
Guard/Treasury receiver.
