As an avid (sometimes called “rabid”) collector of model airlines (die cast airplanes), I always faced a big question: How do I display my model airline collection? I looked everywhere, but couldn’t find anything I liked. So, I decided to start creating my own model airports. After many years of trial and error, I have created several complete model airport designs for the 1:400 and 1:500 scales. The reason I call them “complete” is because these model airports are not just pieces of airports (like others…), each one of my model airports have all the fundamental 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 model airport using different options included with the model airport.
Each model 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 ground foils (or tiles) that you print, cut and assemble at home. They can be assembled on a standard piece of plywood or Styrofoam insulation panel, and will greatly enhance your model airline collection. I have worked very hard to make these model airports as detailed and realistic as possible, and I hope you will agree after checking out the different designs. Click on model airport sample to download a sample page to check on your printer. All the 1:500 scale model airports are compatible with Herpa® airport buildings. All the 1:400 scale model airports are compatible with Gemini® airport buildings. As a third option you can opt for my airport building designs for both scales. 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 model 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 templates and instructions on how to construct the buildings. In addition to the model airport buildings, I also offer backgrounds for your airport. These backgrounds increase the realistic look of your airport by ten fold! Anyway, take a look around, check out the site and let me know what you think. Enjoy!!! |
