Hello all,
Thought I'd post these 'before and after' pics of my French 105mm HE having just finished tidying it up and repainting it.
It came to me looking a bit the worse for wear, and seemed a good candidate to try a first attempt at painting, not something I usually do to shells.
After much trial and error, and thanks to the members here who have assisted with colour schemes, etc, she came out a little smarter.
Just need to somehow tone down the new, fresh appearance.
Then there's the stencils....

Many thanks!
