Welcome to DAC! It is good to see that the custom model airport makers are still out there. Impressive work!

Thanks Dylan,
I have another project in the works with pics to come soon. This is a great site. Thanks for the input...
If I had the money I would add the fibre optics. LIT present is lighted with an HO Scale light kit, but the results aren't that good. I do appreciate the comments, good bad or indifferent.

What a huge splash you've made on DAC; Then and Now.

I like how you displayed the portside of the Ozark plane. Unlike the starboard side, the portside has the '60s script.

You may want to call Bill Clinton in Hope and see if he'll include your airports in his library. Shoo-in for sure. Speaking of Hope, I've got a pair of Klipsch speakers for my home stereo system. The best!

Nothing better than a great looking "retro" airport. Super detail! Love seeing Braniff and a old DC-9. Truely great work!

Nice work, love the little sign on the building "LITTLE ROCK" and looks like good ramp detail...but one tip on the models you're parking there...DL didn't have 737's in 1968...they were a DC-9 customer back then...737's didn't come till 1980's.

Keen eye on the DA "fluf". I have been searching for a DA DC-9 to fit in the LIT Then Diorama for years. My dad insisted that delta be represented in the photo, so the 737 was my only option.
Thanks for the comments though, they are appreciated.

ahhhhh, paternal pressure!!! Christ, nobody's done a DL DC-9 in 1/400??? I've never wanted one, so I've never looked.
