AIRPORT UPDATE - New Foils!

With the help of Rob and Matt I've been able to hone my skills, and have begun adding oil stains to my foils!  I'll be using these to build the tarmac for my airport!  So from now on, what you see at the airport will be the way the foils are laid out!

 

Again in these pics I have added a old jetway to help show how they will come through the slanting face!

 

You can also see how the access road will run in between the main building layer, and the slanting face of…

AIRPORT UPDATE - Big additions!

Well after slaving for hours today the side panels are done!  They slant downward away from the regular face of the building giving the airport a more unique look!

 

It may not look like much, but it literally took me hours to complete!  This is a huge step in completing the airport!

 

The jetways will come out of the main building through the slanting part and to the aircraft.

TRIP REPORT - MCI-DFW-DEN American Airlines

Not to long ago, a few months back I took a flight from Kansas City (MCI) to Dallas (DFW), then from Dallas (DFW) to Denver (DEN).

 

I arrived at the airport several hours early just because I wanted to check things out and do some spotting before the flight.  I always go to see if I can spot the elusive Shamu.  I have over the years seen every Southwest Airlines special scheme (With the exception of their two newest ones Florida and Illinois) except Shamu.  There are three…

Inbound ILS runway 27

New purchases update for me, Ive got an Inflight200 727-200 that cost me $16 on its way, an El Al 767 (old colours) 1:400 Gemini, Inflight200 787 and whatever Jolly old Saint Nick fancies bringing me this yule tide, hopefully be posting some nice shots of my latest arrivals some time in the week. Also very tempted by the new AK200 Shorts 360 in British Midland colours, although I think I will hold out until I see some shots of the model.
