Does anyone apart from me collect/ have any dragon wings/ Gemini Jets/ Herpa aircraft?

I currently collect Dragon Wings 1/400 scale.
My collection follows:

Malaysia/ Airbus house A380
Air New Zealand OC 767-319 ER
Northwest A320-200
Etihad 777-300ER
SriLanken A330-200

Malaysia/ Airbus house A380 when the a380 whent on tour
thai a340-600
thai-777-300
thai 747-400
767-400 boeing house colours
air new zealand 777-200
emirates a330-200

air new zealand 777-200

I was going to get that at Hobbyco in Sydney but got the Etihad one instead.

not quite sure if this is what you mean but Iv made a A300 and a A320 models, they are about 20-30cms long can't remember what scale.. quite good fun putting them together and painting etc..

Emirates A380 (just a little one)
Emirates B777-300
Emirates A340-500
(these two are bigger, they're about 30cm long)
N.B. My dad doesn't work for Emirates, they just like to give models away

I'm currently making a basic airport for my models I'll upload some pics in a sec

I have made five air bridges so far and am going to make one more. I don't know what to do with the apron. I may just leave it at it's present state all it needs is a bit of touching up with a pencil



I have made stairs which can go low for an a320 or high for an A330 or 777




go here to see my air bridge: http://www.diecastaircraftforum.com/mod ... tways.html

Here's some detail on the taxiway:



The following pics show my aircraft in the gates. The middle one was taken before I put in the other air bridges.





Thanks for looking

lol cool

thats really neat kelburn.

I once saw a article in a magazine about someones model airport, it looked awsome with runway lights and hundreds of custom built aircraft, if you have the space and the time you should try for soemthign like that ae. Could end up with somethign incredibly detailed

So are you modeling that on any airport in particluler or just making up a fictional one?

Currently I'm only making a fictional but you never know.
It is loosley based on the front part of NZWN with the sloping part an all.

whos that in the backround of the airbus photo North West

Very cool stuff Kelburn- where do you purchase these models?

In Howick there is a place called Steve's model shop it has them. Same size metal with gears etc

To be honest, I got all mine in Oz. I currently can't leave it out on the table as the sun is starting to do something to the cardboard but still I'm having fun. It's something I've always wanted. Ever since one of my friends got one when I was about 3 or 4 (or though it was a SHABACK)
