Seriously!

I was really hoping Brumm & Brumm would come out with their models but I suspect due to backlash they have quietly buried the project.

I stumbled across this on eBay and just had to have it. It's big. I'll probably put my business cards on the front of it just for kicks...

From what I've researched the company has only made a Little Boy. I'd buy a Fat Man if they make one.


Brumm and Brumm were going to make both as toys (upper pic)... but evidently they ran into some public flack over it so it was never made. I've emailed them and have never received a response.

You can buy a Little Boy that is autographed by Paul Tibbits for $525 plus shipping. To me that's just a little too creepy for me. He and the rest of the surviving crew have autographed quite a few things over the years.

Scalecraft makes both, but I'm not sure of the quality.

They will make custom models for you if you want. Some day I might have them make a base with both Fat Man & Little Boy if I've got a lot of money to burn. It's become sort of a past time hobby for me...

HBB. Pic "borrowed" from TimeZone, but only because my own photo skills are sorely lacking. This is the same model I have:
