WWII german incendiary bomb?

Second opinion.
The practice bombs were single piece, completely painted (Oxide) red and mostly noone bothered to drill the holes in the side to make them look real.
I've seen the B1e/B1,3e with vanes and fuse painted green, grey and red (probably just rustproofing). The bomb itself almost never has any Paint left due to oxidation.
The ones I've seen all looked real enough but never require special treatment so I never lost anytime thinking about why the colours are used

Teck old mate, it may have escaped your notice but the Luftwaffe did not bother using practice 1Kg's over here. You need to get back up to speed, too much holidays!

Oh really? Didn't I elaborate enough. My mistake.
You could be right (German efficiency and all)
Seem to recall your side dropping enough inert bombs on the enemy during the war

One of your distant relations on your aunts side also!

Sorry for the late reply - I am on holiday in the Netherlands atm. Thank you so much everyone, my grandpa will be very pleased. He was born in 1942 so 79 now. He also has a 'naval officers sword which I am going to post here when I have time. He is kindly taking me to the Airborne Museum in Arnhem on Thursday - I'll post some photos after if anybody wants.
Again, thank you so much - you'll make an old man very happy!
