Crazy -

Sounds like your doorways are about to become ILS!

Good Luck with the construction!

Good luck.

For LAX, you would need at least 26ft to fit one runway if you are making it in 1/400 scale, and about 15ft or so to make the terminal alone.

You may want to ask Prof. Herpa if he is still around. He did SFO a while ago. The pics are somewhere on this forum and also on Wings900

You should concider doing just the terminals....if ya want to do the whole thing, your looging at about 30 ft square on sfo and about 28'x10-12' on LAX.

Whatever ya do, JUST DO IT!!! Too many people are always on here saying they are doing so and so airport w/ xyz airplanes, then 2 months later come on w/ different plans, and so on.

C'mon, surprise us all.
