Colorized "Fat Man"

Never thought I would colorize something like an atomic bomb. First time I read about it, this bomb was described the "Fat Man" and was painted YELLOW, with Green and Red stripes that drove me to colorize its b&w photo taken just before being loaded on a B-29 Superfortress to bomb Nagasaki in August 1945. (The first one that devastated Hiroshima was named "Little Boy").  Unlike the first, the  Fat Man used an Implosive firing mechanism and a solid plutonium core that instantly killed almost 80,000 in Nagasaki, finally ending WWII in the Pacific.
