RGD-5 in section

[Fragman]

Hi, Ive just brought an RGD-5 in section in need of restoration. Im taking the opportunity to rework the type of sectioning, to expose more of the fragmentation cups. Ive exposed an internal section of the cups and was surprised to see they are not segmented. Are the outsides of the cups segmented? Cheers Colin

Classical russian RGD-5 have a two cups into the body (on top and below).
May be your grenade from other country....

Hi, Great manual. Thanks very much:tinysmile_shy_t: The grenade I'm reworking does have the two cups inside. They are smooth on the inside and I am wondering if they are notched on the outside. If they are, I'll cut some of the outer shell off and expose the exterior of the fragmentation cups. However, if the outside is smooth as well, I won't bother. Have you seen the cups removed from the body? Cheers Colin

Ya know, that's a great idea. I've passed up a few sectioned grenades because of their shabby appearance. Never thought of restoring them. What a dummy. As an old model builder it should be fun!
Gotta love this site.
You do too?
