Description: Hello everyone again =) This is a surprise to me listing this as I did not know my Father had this in his estate. He usually just has car collectibles, miscellaneous items and other plane models. This item is quite large in scale, a 1/72 scale. This is a B-29 Enola Gay model, which is an authentic (per certificate included) 1/72 scale re-creation of the original aircraft and is signed by Dutch Van Kirk. I encourage anyone potentially interested to skim through the photos and view the details of it all including the certificate which describes in detail what this airplane is and why it's significant in history. As I usually always state, my Father fortunately never took these collectibles out of the box to play with or mishandle. I can say, this is now the 2nd time its been taken out of the original box. Once by my father as he always does with specific items to view it. And once by myself to strictly take photos of it so I was able to post on Ebay for anyone interested to see it. I'm very easy going with these items, or so I'd like to think, so please if you are turned off by the listing price, make an offer you think is fair and we can go from there =) I do have to say, I won't consider lowball prices to the extreme as I really do not feel like entertaining being taken advantage of. I have the price set now as a filler, basically I see what its going for in the market. Hope that makes sense. As far as the signature by the Enola Gay navigator, which is Theodore Dutch Kirk. If anyone has concerns on the authenticity of the signature, I'm very open to any recommendations you may have on getting it verified that it is in fact his signature. Per the certification, it is from Toys and Models Corporation and they have verified the signature themselves. I encourage anyone seeing this to review the certificate. Additional Note - My Father purchased this in 2012 in new condition. I know this bc there is writing on the original shipping box stating that. Additional Note - When skimming thru the photos I posted on this item, you will notice either shipping material cushion, strings, etc. All of that simply comes off just fine, I just did not want to disrupt the original packaging for it. You all have been great to me thus far on prior sales, it's truly been a good experience so far seeing the positive reviews. Please message me if you have any questions. - World War II - Military - Collectibles - Model Planes
