  I couldn’t believe my luck when a customer in America asked me not only to build the Enola Gay B-29 for him – but to build it in 1/48th scale!

   

  I always looked at the old 1/72 scale Airfix kit as a kid and wanted to build it – but the bare metal accomplish and greenhouse cockpit made it an ambitious construct and a step too far for me then.

   

  When I started building models again as a (more or less) adult, the kit was high on my list – but difficult to get contain of – and although I loved the thought of building the colossal 1/48 kit, I was painfully aware that I would also have to find somewhere to demonstrate it.

   

  Fortunately, Dana in Alabama didn’t have a difficulty with space and wanted me to build it – so the adventure began!

   

  The Kit

  The kit was originally made by Monogram back in the 70s – which doesn’t maintain to be a amazing starting point. The version I bought was the re-issue by Revell and comes with some really nice photo etch – both brass and beautifully printed cockpit parts.

   

  The box itself is big – so you feel you are really getting your money’s worth. When you open it, the first thing you notice is just how well packaged it all is. The box is sturdy

Flown by Colonel Paul Tibbets, who named it after his mother, the bomber dropped the first ever nuclear weapon (the "Little Boy") over Hiroshima, Japan, on August 6, 1945.
