Hey all,
I made the cutaway this week ; It is the Japanese type 97 Rail Initiator B-6(a), used as a tail fuze in the 31Kg practice bomb.
Enjoy

Fantastic Workmanship;

Hello Erhand,
Thank you again for sharing your marvelous workmanship. The quality of your craftsmanship never ceaces to amaze me. your source for fuzes must be a bottomless pit. I always thought that NAVSCOLEOD had the largest fuze collection, but few sectioned ones.
Your work needs to be on display for all interested to see. I hope you are maintaining a photographic record of each fuze.
may I ask what your reference is for documentation of these fuzes?
All the Best,
John aka Bart
 
Hi John,
of course a lot of docs which I collect over the years, electronically and paper. I make from every fuze high resolution images, as a cutaway and also as a complete fuze, also take all measurements and do some pics of internal works also. ( I need all this for the database I am working on)
