here my german WW 1 shell collection

[Der_Feldgraue]

I finally got a german 77 mm shrapnel shell with original color. Here a comparison between my restored 10,5 mm shrapnel (painted with matt blue from Revell) and the originally painted 77 mm. I think the colors match by over 90 %.

hello
cracking image,nice to see comparison.
My german shell has a darker blue.
Looks alot darker than yours.
Ive tried to age it and this has made the shade darker.
Do you think i should re-paint it after seeing the bluer on yours?

Regards.

P.s. you can see mine on my profile page.

My restored one is more light blue and I think I will repaint it too with this color.
