Help ID'ing Artillery Shell

[RASelkirk]

Hi All,

I found a guy on E-Bay that 3D-printed me a shell with fuze, vaguely going by dims off the 'net. He's waiting on me to state what color to paint it and what text to stencil onto it. I have spent at least 20 hours Googling and have not found a single reference to a casing in my "658mm" length (not that it really matters), most are 459mm or shorter including the U-boat deck guns. It must be either a flak round or off a capital ship. Possibly because of this, there is virtually no info out there on the SK C/32 round other than the standard FK (field kanon).

The standard naval HE round is yellow (gawd, I hate yellow) so I'm looking at painting it black (AP?) with copper driving bands. It seems the fuze for all rounds is natural aluminum.

I am about to attempt threading on my pre-war Atlas to make a suedo-primer and complete this project...

What I'm really hoping is someone here has pertinent info on naval 10.5cm shell colors/stencils.







Hope you can help!
