I went up to the ironmonger (industrial supply shop) a couple of days ago. I asked for a M23x1 die to thread the caps for these projectiles...They didn't have it:
- That's a very rare thread- the man said. -But I can order it for you and you'll have it in a couple of days.
-Ok, how much will it cost?
He took a catalogue and had a look:
-298€!
- I'll let it pass, I replied

Well,
I have just found one a bit cheaper...from china, shipping included about 12€!!! I think it might be just OK for what I need...

I have never seen warperiod original rounds,but pictures in various books show that cap is white down to "kunstoff" hole height.And black from there to aluminium frame.
Your caps need "kunstoff" hole(filler material between wolfram core and magnesium hat.One hole in top,two holes in sides.
Your projectile have nice original worn "look" black/red,so try to make white for the cap in same style.Not shiny white,but worn looking.Attached FilesLast edited by jiipee76; 09-15-2014, 12:30 AM.

Thanks Jussi,
I had the impression it had to be painted white but I read somewhere that they were left unpainted. Another member has told me the right colour would be present day RAL 9001. My caps have the top hole for the filling but my 2mm drill broke, so I couldn't make the 2 side holes. I hope to buy a new one soon. BTW, I got an airbrush for my birthday
I only know two period pics that show 3cm HK rounds being loaded in a plane and they seemed to be painted black, but better ask than make a mistake.
