The second version

The second version of the body with more details and the lift lug



To make the bolts on the surface of the bomb, I punched small circles of double thick paper, with a diameter of 0.75 mm



Then I added some more particular, like the red arming plugs on the top, punching of them with a rod of 1,5 mm of diameter. You can see also an enhanced version of the cone and terminal cylinder



Two solutions for the tail tested. The green is the chosen one, and this time I started to colorize the parts using Inkscape



The “drilled” fins



… and the rear box



The prototype of the tail is completed, but the rear plate in the final version will have more details that I discovered after I designed it.



Below You can see the first attempt to reproduce the Yagi antennas



At this point I can consider completed the prototyping phase for the bomb
