Awesome. Thank you for doing this Wayne :thumbup:

At the same scale as our tanks, it certainly puts the size of it into perspective.

Nope, that's the right size for 16th rad.

Fat Man. 128 and 3/8ths inches long. 59 inches wide.

Little Boy. 120 inches long. 30 inches wide.

By the way, Wikipedia has three of the four main dimensions for the two bombs wrong. They only got little boys length correct. And copies of blue prints are easy to find.

Little boy isn’t much shorter either..

As for what will be done with it.

After taking my grandson to the imperial war museum in London, he started a fixation with nukes. I'm guessing he'll end up displaying them on a shelf when they're not towed by a truck lol :thumbup:
