Why does it matter? His airport looks great, and If he doesn't have a lot of planes then he'll get more.

As a matter of fact I have 89 1:200 scale models and 162 1:500's.
They are in their boxes in dedicated cupboard.

I only have a few that in the picture that I use as a gage to mesure realistic 'clear-way'.

Amazing airport! I can't wait to see what you're going to do with the rest of the space! Did you build those roads yourself? How much time did you spend designing that? Be careful with the crack in the road in the photo above, the little 1:500 people could fall through to their death.

i think herpa's sets CAN make a very nice, detailed airport.

but i do agree, they need to revamp their buildings to modern-day standards.
