    Wow, this video is almost 9 years old.... I remember before when I was so excited on building my own model airport after watching this. Now 9 years later, I just finished making a diorama of Kai Tak International Airport. I came here to say thank you for inspiring me to have a hobby in diorama making

      InsideLine PH That’s awesome! Hope you had a great time building it and that it turned out well. I would love to get back into it but I’m having a hard time finding the time. Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment!

    Oh my god i've been searching forever for this video! When i was a kid i used to watch this video so much like 6-7 years ago! I didn't think i'd find it! I've always been a fan of aviation and model airports and so this video really inspired me and reminds me of my childhood!

    I remember watching this back in 2012 when it had the old songs; guessing it got changed for copyright issues. This is what somewhat inspired me to make my own airports.

    That is just so so smart I thought of an Idea to all people wanting a mat you could just print out runways and use them! Great Idea right?

  • @jackf2363

    Thanks Flapsnslats for recommending jetwaymodels. I have already bought two aircraft from there and four on the way.

  • @flapsnslats

    1:400 scale all the way. Thanks for watching!

  • @flapsnslats
    @flapsnslats  12 років тому

    I used to do the runways and tarmac with photo paper. To be precise, I used the Matte photo paper, which is very durable and expensive. The regular printer paper is more perceptible to tear and damage, but is definitely worth using over photo paper. The thicker the paper, the harder it is to glue it down.

  • @flapsnslats
    @flapsnslats  11 років тому

    I had a layer of that big rolling paper over the top of the wood, and that has to be very tight. Then you can glue the next layer on using your own methods. However, you could buy an online design and take it to a print shop for professional quality.

  • @ChalynAirport195
    @ChalynAirport195 11 років тому +1

    Awesome!

  • @flapsnslats
    @flapsnslats  11 років тому

    It really depends on the width of the terminal, and the extra room between the gates and the planes. At 30 inches wide, you would definitely not be able to have a taxiway, and the apron would connect straight to the runway. 56 inches is perfectly long, because even my 84 inch runway is not even close to a scale 1:400 runway. My calculations show that a roughly 22 foot long runway would be the exact scale length, so don't worry with the runway length. Essentially, your could be too small.

  • @flapsnslats
    @flapsnslats  12 років тому

    Well, it really depends on which plane, and how old it is. The older planes from most manufactures don't spin, but the new models do. I would say that I have about 15 planes with spinning wheels.
