No 94 rifle grenade Re-paint

Been real busy today re-painting a bare metal No 94 Rifle Grenade I bought recently. I sprayed the whole gren Bronze Green then airbrushed the red band while spinning it on a turntable. then spent about 2 hours carefully cutting out the stencil. Im sure you will all agree it has come out great. well im very pleased with the results anyway. Unfortunately i only decided to start taking pics when i was cutting out the stencil, so the first stages of painting are undocumented. anyone got a spare fuze cover? cash or trades waiting. cheers, Paul.

Great job Paul, especially that stencil, you need a steady hand for that. Well done

regards Kev
 
That's great Paul, top job ! I don't have a spare fuze cover but have seen them at shows, and will keep an eye out for you. I expect someone here must have one going spare :)
 
Very impressed by the stencil cutting. Your tool box should have "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" on the side!

And here's the painting and stencilling drawing.

Managed to get a few missing parts to finish of the No94 Mk2. The dust cover for the fuze came from Paul Heddell http://pdhenterprises.co.uk/index.php and the launching blank was a freebee from Grapeshot. Thanks to everyone who has helped me with this project.:tinysmile_shy_t:
Cheers, Paul.
