WW2 Italian party favors

[Sluff]

Italian WW2 100kg GP /HE bomb. Colors, Grey for TNT, blue for amatol, red nose. Questions: (1) What shades of blue/ grey? (2) How far back did the red go? (3) Color for the tail assy? Kinda get the feeling they were different than the body.

Not sure but the TNT filled bombs were of the blue while the of the AMATOL of the grey. The red band at the bomb nose 2 inches for the 100T or 3inches for the 100M bomb. The grey paint seems to be the Grigio ~FS 36231 or 36293. The alternative can be the Grigio Azzurro Chiaro ~FS 36307 or 36118. And the blue one (Azzurro/Blu) ~FS 15056 or 25095 . Also please notice tha that the bomb tail could have been of the two types.
