Welcome to Airport Diorama Designs

The reason I created this website is to help fellow die cast airplane collectors answer the following question: How do I display my airplane collection?

After many years of trial and error, I have created several complete airport designs for the 1:400 and 1:500 scales. The reason I call them “complete” is because these airports are not just pieces of airports (like the competition), each one of my airports have all the essential airport areas, such as Runways (single or dual), Terminal building areas, parking and/or parking garage areas, Cargo area, Fuel Depot and Hangar areas in one complete diorama. Some designs offer you the flexibility to customize an area of the airport using different options included with the airport.

These are the designs that I offer:

Each airport covers a total area of 4 ft by 8 ft (1.22 m by 2.44 m), and is delivered in the form of a PDF file with 77 tiles (or foils) that you print at home, cut and assemble. They can be assembled on a standard piece of plywood or Styrofoam panel, and will greatly enhance your model aircraft collection. I have worked very hard to make these airports as detailed and realistic as possible, and I hope you will agree after checking out the different designs.

All the airport areas are compatible with Herpa® airport buildings, or you can opt for my airport building designs. Can you build a box using Balsa Wood? If the answer is yes, you can build any of the airport buildings on this website. Just like the airports, the buildings are very detailed, and have been designed to work with either 1:400 or 1:500 scales. What you get is a PDF file with the instructions on how to construct the building, and the building “faces” to be cut and glued to the Balsa Wood boxes.

In addition to the airport buildings, I also offer airport backgrounds. It makes a huge difference when you put a background on your airport. Wow!

Anyway, take a look around, check out the site and let me know what you think. Enjoy!!!
