SD2A Restoration

[satan18]

Hear are a couple more of my projects which are nearing completion.

The multi coloured SD2 is one i did earlier but needed to replace a wing for a better one.
I also had a new riveting tool that needed an airing,so i made the long rivets,and had a small stock of end paddle rivets that are 40+years old and fit as per originals.

The Bare metal one is the waffsters which is undergoing re juvenation.
It was as is and painted with ronseal or some hard baked paint,and needed
a full set of rivets.

After stripping back to bare and doing the pin work this one is a minter in the metal department,with only minor re dressing required.
It has the early bannana paddles with a very nice air scoop on each side of the paddles.

Back to bare metal for mine tommorow and both will be re painted.

Why thanky kindley

I am going to do the early one or your one in plain green with no other stripes.
I have seen loads of pictures with no markings at all which being as this one even has some makers stamps on the paddles should be left subtle.
We do however need a screw fuse body and one of your nice 41s to make it whole again.

Thank you David
I have a passion for SD2s as they were way ahead of there time and set the scene for anti personnel weapons for many years.
