This is the most accurate 1:1 replica of the L11 "Little Boy" atomic bomb ever made—faithfully reproduced down to the smallest detail.

The L11 "Little Boy" was the uranium-based gun-type fission bomb dropped by the U.S. Army Air Forces from the B-29 Enola Gay on August 6th, 1945, at 8:15 AM local time. It detonated at an altitude of approximately 1,900 feet over Hiroshima, Japan, and marked the first use of nuclear weapons in combat. The immediate and long-term fatalities are estimated between 70,000 and 140,000, while the broader impact of the bombing helped force Japan's surrender and bring World War II to an end. The introduction of atomic weapons forever altered global warfare and international relations.
This L11 replica is crafted with historical fidelity, making it the most precise reproduction of the "Little Boy" bomb ever made. Whether for museum display, film production, or private collection, it stands as a stark reminder of the power and legacy of the Atomic Age.
