The colors are correct I believe. I've got color photos of both of them. THe only issue is there's no "overspray" on Fat Man.aerius wrote:Either wetting himself with joy or flipping out and threatening to nukey nuckey the fuckers for fucking up the colours.
Yeah. Took me a minute to find color photos of the Fat Boy though. My Google-fu is weak. I guess it was yellow, but had red rings near the tip and center. Looked better that way. Can't seem to find anything on the Little Boy though. One website said there actually isn't any record of what color it was painted, just that it was a dark shade.Sea Skimmer wrote:The colors those things are painted just suck
Oh, trust me, I know what was happening in Germany during WWII. I meant to put Nuremburg instead of Germany. My post was supposed to respond to the fact that the writer of the article was alluding to belief that the atomic bombings in Japan was a huge war crime on the level of the Holocaust. The thing Nuremburg is famous for is the trials of officers who contributed to the holocaust.Darth Raptor wrote:Germany, like Japan, was a target of Allied strategic bombing. The city of Dresden was virtually wiped off the map with incendiaries. This policy of total war culminated in the nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Most people are too blinded by the atomic boogeyman to realize we were doing this all along. The atomic bombings weren't a departure from previous policy, they were the climax. Everyone all the way up to the President just considered them to be really big bombs.
Oh, sorry. Yeah, as to why Nuremberg whould be significant, I have no idea. Most ethical systems consider mass murder to be slightly less evil than genocide.Temjin wrote:Oh, trust me, I know what was happening in Germany during WWII.

That's because these are scaled $10 toys, Vanas. Of course a full-sized one would be neater to have.Vanas wrote:I want the full-size one they've got at the Imperial War Museum. That'd be a talking point. These little ones aren't very interesting.
Are you talking about the B-61 that they have at the Manchester IWM? Or is there an other one in London?Vanas wrote:I want the full-size one they've got at the Imperial War Museum. That'd be a talking point. These little ones aren't very interesting.
Nuremberg is where Nazism originated, and even after Hitler was Chancellor it continued to have great importance to the Nazis. Does the term ‘Numbruge Rally’ mean anything to you, or perhaps this picture rings as bell? It is because Nuremberg was center to the Nazi party that the city was chosen for the postwar war crimes trials.Darth Raptor wrote: Oh, sorry.

Yes, I know. But was it firebombed?Sea Skimmer wrote:Nuremberg is where Nazism originated, and even after Hitler was Chancellor it continued to have great importance to the Nazis.
