Id like to have seen the face of the painter. It is a very good item, but in gloss....

 

[sscrooge]

the painter made himself scarce when he knew i was on my way for it,, i suspose a bit of wet and dry might help lose its shine,

And why black and not old yellow?

Beautiful projectile Dave and exquisite body work done on it. I personally love the glossy finish. Looks like someone at one time may have had made it into an umbrella stand. Have we figured which fuze you're looking for yet? The finish came out great. One fine shell....Dano

Yes Dave, I have no idea which fuze either. The yellow projectile in the 3rd post in this thread appear to have a fuze similar to the British No80 or Scovill as they are very similar. Just a stab in the dark....Dano

The ones we have recovered have had a no134 fuze,theres a couple of posts about these here on site

note on the attatched photo the fuze as we find them at work fits into an adapter then it appears another adapter

Hey, dont misunderstand me, please, it is an awesome item, but with that wrong paint, it affects to the quality of the project. Next time change of painter or dont pay this one as he has done what he wanted instead of follow your instructions.
