B-29 Enola Gay Model Airplane 1/72 Scale
Scale: 1/72
Wingspan: 23 3/4"
Code: MCSS09W003
The B-29 was named after Enola Gay Tibbets, the mother of the pilot, Paul Tibbets.
The Enola Gay gained additional national attention in 1995 when the cockpit and nose section of the aircraft was exhibited at the National Air and Space Museum (NASM) of the Smithsonian Institution in downtown Washington, D.C. The exhibit was changed due to a controversy over original historical script displayed with the aircraft. In 2003, the entire restored B-29 Enola Gay went on display at NASM's new Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center.
