Yeah I noticed that too. It looks like the Civil Defense took of the paint on the Thunderbolt. I don't know why. Maybe they were repainting the siren?Brendan W wrote:Jeez, what happened to the paint on that thunderbolt at 7:47? It looks awful!

Lol, anyways, before Christopher J. mentioned it on here, I found a picture of what appears to be a tbolt prototype in 1952 Minneapolis, it hit over 40 likes on the facebook group.

Re: Vintage siren photos thread
It looks like the paint was just sanded off and they were about to repaint it.
It must have been very recent because it doesn't look likes it even had time to surface rust in the half second it's shown.

Re: Vintage siren photos thread
Sanding the paint off? Isn't that bad for the metal on the Thunderbolt? Also, by sanding the paint off, doesn't that leave pretty bad scratches on the horn?CDV777-1 wrote:It looks like the paint was just sanded off and they were about to repaint it.
