Wondering where they got their models, I checked eBay and Amazon to find that there are a few manufacturers and tons of sellers.

Downloading foils from the internet was easy. But there was other detailing that required craft-work, and I started off with chunk-sized PoCs. The very first was for the jetways. Me &amp; my brother used to save bellowed plastic straws for this when we were kids. I got a back of straws to re-create them and what turned out wasn&#8217;t very polished. Next was the ground equipment, but I soon realized that I had to use thicker paper. I had some card paper that came with laundered clothes which I used to create a hangar &#8211; and that turned out well.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent.cdninstagram.com\/hphotos-xaf1\/t51.2885-15\/s640x640\/e35\/sh0.08\/11426509_1645823402298426_824134419_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I&#8217;ve set aside a monthly budget to add a few each month and slowly expand my airport.
