Hiroshima Mission B-29 — Handcrafted Mahogany Desk Model, Accurate Markings

Up for sale is a hand-carved, hand-painted Philippine mahogany desk model of the Boeing B-29 Superfortress \"Enola Gay,\" the aircraft that dropped the first atomic weapon used in combat on Hiroshima, Japan, August 6, 1945. This piece comes from the personal collection of a distinguished American aviator with a career in military and experimental flight testing.

Model Details:

Solid Philippine mahogany, hand-carved and hand-painted, mounted on a hardwood display base — contractor/desk-style build, not a hobby kit
Produced by Toys and Models Corp (TMC), Philippines — a respected maker known for official aerospace-commission desk models, a step above generic cottage-shop builds
Wingspan: 11.5\" | Length: 8.25\" | 1:144 scale
Accurate markings: \"Enola Gay\" nose art, the circled-R tail marking of the 509th Composite Group, and the \"82\" aircraft number — which matches the real aircraft\'s radio call sign, Victor 82
Comes with its display stand
Perfect condition — no chips, no damage, all propellers intact

Why This One\'s Special:
The Enola Gay is one of the most recognized aircraft in aviation history. Piloted by Col. Paul W. Tibbets Jr. of the 393rd Bomber Squadron, 509th Composite Group, it flew the Hiroshima mission that helped bring an end to World War II. The real aircraft — a Martin-built B-29-45-MO — is preserved today at the Smithsonian\'s National Air and Space Museum. This model carries the historically correct unit markings and aircraft number, not a generic B-29 repaint, and its compact 1:144 scale makes it one of the more space-friendly Enola Gay desk models on the market — most competing mahogany pieces run 1:72 or larger and take up considerably more shelf space. Coming from a career aviator\'s personal collection adds a layer of provenance uncommon to most desk models on the market.

Condition: Excellent / like new — no paint chips, no broken parts, stand included.
