The Profile Publications Number 101 that comes free with the kit. Note
the price on this - "Two Shillings"! I don't recall if this was how
Monogram packed it or whether the EBay seller included it. |

The original kit decals. Somewhat brief. The kit comes with Fat Man
and Little Boy Nuclear Bombs but the Bockscar and Enola Gay decals
are not included. |

Sprue number one. As the kit is second hand all the sprues are
de-bagged. |
The same sprue from the
other side. The detail is heavy but there is detail. Ejection Pin
markings spoil some details. |
The other sprues are silver
but this one is black. Half the sprue goes unmentioned on the
instructions. |
The same black sprue from
the reverse. It contains crew men and those two nuclear bombs. |

Second sprue showing props, tail, bombs, undercarriage, engines and
engine cowlings. |
The same sprue from reverse. |
The third sprue is
essentially the same as sprue two but here we see the Cutting Edge
cowlings with their corrected chin air intakes. |
The same sprue reversed.
Note here that these last two sprues appear to have blanking plates
suitable for Enola Gay. |

The clear sprue. |
The upper and lower parts
for the right wing which are separated from their sprues. |
Same items from the inside. |
The sprue that had contained
the wings also contains a wing spar and bomb racks. |
 |

 |
|
Same sprue reversed showing the undercarriage bay doors. |
The final sprue which is largely a repeat of the last sprue with the
left wing and the other wing spar. |
Reverse of the same sprue. |
A few loose bits found in the box. The kit does appear complete. Note
the turret blanking plates. |
