Where is the enola gay plane today

Microscale had a set of Enola Gay decals (sheet 48-569) but are long since out of production.

I wouldn't use the originals as they probably will shatter when placed in water (there is a fix for that by spraying the entire sheet w/clearcoat or microscale liquid decal film) but since the original Monogram decals were 'user unfriendly' I'd make my own. Someone might have a set of old Monogram decals that you may be able to scan/copy and print on decal paper. I have no idea whether this is correct or not. IIRC, Fatman was to be painted a 'mustard' color. If someone has the original kit with the instructions, they should be able to tell you what color Monogram tells you to paint the little boy. There are no markings on the bomb of any kind (that I can discern), on black and white photos or the color photo at the USAF museum. The black and white photos of another similar bomb show it to be a color that is not black. A sister bomb to 'Little Boy' in the museum of the air force is painted in, what is to me, a semi-gloss olive drab.
