SD2A Butterfly.

[satan18]

Hear is my butterfly,sporting its new colour scheme.
Recovered from Grimsby as part of a school boys
schrapnel collection in 1941.

With the addition of a new fuse and charge the butterfly
looks as deadly as the day it dropped.

By `charge`,do you mean those little brown gaine pots?

Took me a while to get some but i managed it in the end!
Im def gonna picture mine tomorrow.

I have the gaine attached to the fuse but what i meant was the main charge (bomb body).

Ok,ive taken a few snaps of the ones i have.
Im afraid they are in `pre-clean` condition but they are on the long list of `to-does`

There are a different set of wings included in front of the complete ones,i also have some more fuzes for the SD2`s not pictured.
The close up of the left hand one shows the correct 41A bayonet type fuze i believe correct for the body type?


cheers

A few more showing some of the gaine pots too.
They are pictured on the shelf and the last shot is when they are in the `room`up in top corner.
Thats certainly changed since that shot in members collection!

I hope you enjoy the pics and please give me any good tips for cleaning them up.

cheers and best
