the Beginning of my International Airport (PICS)

Here is the Beginning of my International Airport…

Most of the collection existed already, I have added a few aircraft and I won a few ebay auctions for

the terminals and ground foil.

Soon to come will be fiber optic lighting…

Keep in mind this is just the start…

I like! Looks great, you have a really nice collection there. Where'd you get all the Eagle F-27s from? Are they all the same registration? You might want to consider mounting the foil onto some 5/8 plywood so it won't poke up like that (sectional pieces).

Bill-ay · 11-30-2006, 09:33 PM

Which F-27s? Or do you mean F-100s?

N66LX · 11-30-2006, 10:21 PM

Everything is just laid out to get of feel for what I have and what I need…

Next I’m going to take everything down to glue the foil to the board and

install the fiber optic lights

Then permanently place the terminal, lighting it.

Then add scale landscaping…filling in all the green areas with grass

And so on…

Nice! How big is the layout? 8ft by 4ft?

Losing my mind...I meant ATR-72s, which means this is 1/500 scale...aaaahhh! Sorry, I must be tired...

You should definitively put some nice spotterbabes at the beach near the threshold of the runway

As I understand the planes are 1:500 but it did work out quite nice with the 1:400 mat.
