WW1 French F1 restore

I got this WW1 French F1 and a Citron Foug the other day in a swap deal and started with the F1 first. The left photo shows it as it came. The next photo shows what I used, some acryllic slate blue paint and some really worn 100 grit paper. This one was easy. I painted the body slate blue, then after it dried sanded the surface with badly worn 100 grit sandpaper to age it a bit. Now I just need to find a fuze cap to complete it. Not it's on to the Citron Foug project. I will need a dremel for the Foug and mine burnt up so i'll have to wait a bit to get started...Dano
