Hello all,
This is my first question I’ve posted on this forum, but from what I’ve gleaned from reading other threads, if anyone can help me they are on this site!
I have recently purchased a 152mm M411A3 TP-T projectile, and have been furiously searching for pictures of the complete cartridge. I want to reproduce the obviously impossible to own combustible case and “consumable” primer, as the army literature calls it. I have been able to find useful measurements and drawings of the side profile, but have not been able to find a single picture of the cartridge on the internet at all. Does anyone have pictures of one or better yet have a reproduced case they can photograph? I have everything else for display as issued, the metal shipping tube, plastic windscreen protector, styrofoam packing and even the cardboard spacers and desiccate wrap. I need only to make a case and neoprene jacket for it.
One description I read on oldguns.net said it has a fiberboard texture and was light yellow in color so I was planning on turning one out of MDF to obtain the texture unless someone has a better idea based on seeing one. Any ideas?
Thank you all for the great knowledge!

edit: I believe it’s a 1978 based on the lot number, trying to figure out picture posting at the moment
