Shell Shifter

Well-Known Member
I just got this star shell. It is a bit dodgy but has potential, I think.

Any advice on parachute and what I might use as a filler? Actually, any advice at all for the restoration would be greatly appreciated.

It is currently being de-rusted.

Here's an example for ideas. And, I have an appropriate spent flare with chute, if interested.
