Here's shot of some shoe polishing, but in the background is a good shot of the base of a radar mast.

That is one fine photograph, Charlie. Thank you.
I have just finished my working model of a Mk 17 - ammo belts are particularly difficult to define in 3D CAD, and the ones in this mount are as complicated as they get. Other than that, I neede to apply the WAG method to a few things, but I am used to that. Jeff D's illustrations were instrumental in helping me to detail the mount. Thank you again for the info.
I will be tackling the radar mast fairly soon,
Any clear pictures of the SO antenna? I found a small one in an electronic equipment inventory manual, but other than the general shape and size of the radome, I've got nothing.
Here are a couple of views of the finished model of the mount (painted in haze grey, no less!)

Not bad Alexander! Yes those ammo belts are a real pain. I'm glad to see you got the tracer / AP mix right, a typo in an online manual led me astray. I keep forgetting to fix it.
