Airport Dio (1 Viewer)

That is quite amazing. At first I thought you were off your rocker and thought it was the real thing until I finally saw the people watching the dio.

It would be harder to get any more realistic than this.
 
We've seen this before as it was posted awhile back, still amazing and yes a military version would be cool.

Darn link is still busted, but I did happen upon a pic of a nice diorama from a museum in Munich:

Man I wish a TS outfit would manufacture one of those maintenance tents in 1/30. I've considered fabricating one, but I can't even find the dimensions of the real thing! They show up frequently in images of WWI German airfields:

Nice dio. Those tents would be huge. Sounds like a job for Omar the Tentmaker.:tongue: -- Al

Al, I think that they were designed to accommodate two aircraft a piece. You're right, though. They appear to be absolutely cavernous.:eek:

I wonder if Qantas and Air New Zealand are planning to add this airport to their destinations. ^&grin I have seen videos of this before but it's always great to watch again. Fantastic detail and incredible how they managed to have all the aircraft, vehicles, trains ect moving around and the aircraft taking off and landing. So realistic and representative of a real life modern international airport. I will have to put it on my bucket list as one of the places I want to visit in the future.

It would be awesome if the makers of this airport or other talented people from around the world make miniature representations of other famous airports such as: Singapore's Changi, Hong Kong International, JFK, DFW, LAX, O'Hare to name a few in the US, Heathrow in the UK, Amsterdam's Schiphol and even dare I say Kingsford Smith International airport in Sydney Oz! It would probably be to difficult and expensive though as most of the famous airports are massive and would be extremely large in this scale. Just imagine if the above and many more from around the world were made though.

Thanks for posting Pete and I agree it would be awesome if someone made a similar military airport or perhaps 2 with one representing a WW2 RAF station in the UK with aircraft such as Lancaster's, Spitfires, Mossies, B17's, Mustangs, C47's etc and another modern airbase with C-17 Globemaster's, Hercules, Airbus KC-30 refueler's, F22 Raptors, Eurofighter Typhoon's, F16's, F15's and many other NATO aircraft. More wishful thinking I guess but the talent and technology is there to make these dioramas, it just takes money, space, time and effort to bring them to life.
