German Bomb Tails

[satan18]

previously posted in the past threads are my SC500 and SC250 tail fins.
The 500s were very twisted and had been recovered from Tilbury Essex from a
Gravel pit.
on this occasion i had to restore them by taking them to peices and doing
plenty of hammer and heat shrinking work.
I made new fin support bars and gave them a matt coat.
They are nicely stamped 1937 which makes them pre blitz,but recovered in 1992
from a daylight raid in 1940

A good bit of panel beating going on there, well done good job. An impressive bit of kit with a bomb added.

What's the bomb in the first picture (red primer)?

Excellent restoration project, they've come out great!

Fantastic job, excellent restoration. Just shows what is possible with a piece of twisted metal.
Cheers

Thanks Gary
The fact that they were 1937 dated pushed me into getting them straight again,and i
still have the base of the bomb casing they were attached to.

All the best Phil
