This is a 1:43 scale miniature model of the Fat Man Atomic bomb that was dropped over Nagasaki by The U.S. on Aug. 9, 1945. Although somewhat controversial subject matter for the model hobby, the manufacturer maintains that one of the main factors in deciding to produce this series was to increase public awareness of the potential dangers of atomic and nuclear weapons. This is a very good representation, the model is approx. 3 inches long and is mounted on a custom base and includes an acrylic dust cover to protect this unique piece. Includes U.S. soldier figurine on base. This is a true piece of military history, one that in essence ended the worst war in the history of mankind, World War II.
