I believe the nose sensor shroud was white, shaped somewhat like a
galvanized trash can lid, and covered the entire nose of the Gemini.
The white area in this picture is where the Gemini radar antennas are
located.

I think your photos are of it, and this is just the uncovered nose.
What made me think this might be of it was the description of the photo
which said it was a Gemini being prepared for launch, so I assumed it
would have the cover on it:http://www.jrl-engineering.com/Space_gem-3.html

Thanks Guys! Big Help!

Carl
Send You Guys some pictures of the finished Model in the morning, (If
You like)!


Here are a couple additional pictures of a Gemini with the Sensor
Launch Shroud in place.
