Hi, I think in this restoration and I don´t know what colour use for paint this 2cm flak30, dated in 1938, and with fuze AZ5045 Rh/S343 38. I attach one photograph of this.

I think in yellow colour, because it has some of this color yet, with one red line in the ring, but I don´t totally sure.

Many thanks in advance and regards!
 
Hi Jariber,
Yes as your projectile has a tracer fitted then it would have a red band in this case to signify this.

Hi Jariber,
You have done a really nice job on restoring that 2cm projectile, have you got case to put it in ?

Yes I have a case for this round. I am interested in buy other flak30 round models, because is very interesting
 
Looking at these rounds closely the red band looks like it is sprayed on with a fine air brush. What yellow did you use?
