Very smart, very thoughtful and very cool! This has got to be one of the best thought out airports I've EVER seen on DAC. There is no bulls--t on it. I love the small "rotunda" terminal by itself. There are a "couple" of things I would have done different (Firehouse too close to fuel farm) but this is nice. Great job on the lights!!

Wow, this is great airport you have there. Even the one with night time and the lights on it is very 100% good. I'm still working on mine airport but it a slow work though because of budget. The one I am trying to build is Anchorage Ted Stevens International Airport.

I have studied ANC, they have a huge FED EX Ramp (almost as big as MEM). Since going to 1/400 I found there are 9 different Alaska planes.

Very true Dylan since MEM is their Main hub. Was just trying to say at ANC it's a big apron.

Damn, didn't know that! I've seen diagrams of UPS's new ramp for Louisville. I can't find ANY Fed Ex or UPS A-380's in 1/400. Have you heard if Gemini or Dargon is gonna make them?

A UPS A-380 has yet to be produced...all of the "legal" UPS models have been produced for UPS by Gemini, which doesn't (as of yet) have an A-380 mold. I thought Dragon made a FedEx A-380 freighter last year, no?

5 Stars make one in 1/500 and Skymarks makes one in 1/200. Can't find any in 1/400.

Unbelievable!! How you are able to get so much accurate detail and printing on your airport is beyond me. You must write a diary or a "How to build...." guide on model airports!!

That's because he only modeled a portion of it.
