Professionally Made Tulsa Airport Model

I just found this site on the web:

There 1:600 model of Tulsa Airport is very impressive and even more amazing is that they have customised the Schabaks they've used to represent several new airlines. See if you can spot from the photos:

Casino Express 737-200
Airborne Express DC-9
Continental DC-9
Thrifty Car Rental / West Pac 737-300
Northwest Airlink Saab 340

Very cool :cool:

WOW thats an awsome model airport!! Can someone explain me what 1” = 50’ means?

The custom made Casino Express 737-200 looks a little bit strange. Is this really a Schabak mould. The nose seems to be to acute.

I would say one inch = 50 feet.

But very nice terminal and customised aircrafts.

I think they've just resized the photo and it's made it look weird but it could be they used the Herpa mould?

I also think the Thrifty Car Rental / West Pac 737-300 is another scale, maybe Herpa.
On the terminal overview picture you can compare the Southwest / UA 733 with the tail of the Western Pacific.

Anyhow I guess among the best terminals I have seen so far. I thought the first picture was real (didnt see the small model cars). Very detailed.

I didnt read all the text. Is this located in Tulsa Airport or where can you see this? Any other examples, besides Julians Frankfurt Airport?

Love to see other airports copy this and put it on scale.

in my opinion they used Schabak´s ..
how shall they removed printed colours from herpa models ?
With acid ? ...:thinking:

Nailpolish remover, amongst other things.

Nevertheless ..
I believe thats no Herpa ones !

Grit blasting is also a possibility to clean metal from paint or decals.
I did it once with one of my countless LTU SÜD B767 and also grinded the gear of.
