Another SD2 Finished

[satan18]

This is one of my first butterflys that needed a bit of work and
a re paint.

Still retaining all original springs and a very nice charge,with a
zeit 41 airburst impact fuse with original armourers safety clip.

Totally inert and FFE

Colour query.

Good work Phil.

Please would someone explain the meaning of the different coloured bodies and the different stripe colours, I'm well up on shells but not so good on these.

Ta,

Dave.

Thanks Dave

The green one i copied the markings from butterfly winter in danger uxb
wright or wrong i thought it looked menacing.

The yellow one was duplicated from its original paint scheme.

I think the banding and the red stripes was an armourers recognition
addition.

I dare say someone can elobarate further but thats the jist of it.

I would add that the colours came in handy for unsuspecting victims also thinking "E`re,look what ive found?" or similar?
Bright colours,curious looking object?, oooh,nasty combination.

cheers
