Who can help me on a cutaway drawing of a WW2 Brittish 60Lb SAP warhead of a 3in rocket, a cutaway drawing of the motor (including the ignition cartridge, powder stick, venturi closing cap and electric wiring.
This to correctly produce a cutaway model of such a missile.
I am also looking for detailed pictures of the rail mountiong clamps on the rocket.
Thanks in advance, regards DJH

Thanks , the next question is placed on this forum, as I think the biggest chance of finding these parts is the UK: Who can help me on the electric leads and the plug on the end.
If anyone has one or is able to get one, please report
Thanks in advance, DJH
