samee380, you can probably use the jetways with 1:400 scale models, although you'd probably be restricted to smaller models such as the 717, 737, or even the A320, since the jetways are a little smaller. The door frames of anything bigger, like an A310, 777, or 747, might stick out of the jetway and make for an unrealistic scene. Of course, the Herpa jetways look a lot nicer than the Gemini ones, although you can't adjust the height on all of them.
Actually I sucessfully scaled down a Herpa 1/500 gangway, and it looks quite nice if I do say so myself Here are some pics,







As you can see here the gangway can be adjusted to a 747, or any heavies.
