Bake’s Small Airport Projects - 1:400

Beginning to layout an extension to my fictional layout. This extension will add 3 standard gates and 5 hardstands for regionals. The middle standard gate will reach up to a 767-300 and the rest are all up to a 757 or A321/737 size. This brings the terminal up to a total of 5 regional gates (up to about a CRJ200/E145), 3 gates up to an A321/737, 3 more gates up to a 757, and one gate for up to a 767. Plus 3 additional Southwest stylized gates. Total of gates A1-A11 as i’m calling it, with A11 having an A11a-A11e for the regional gates.

This extension will nearly complete the airside of this terminal (Terminal A as I am officially calling it!) as all that will be left is one or two additional “southwest stylized” gates on the left hand side (A1/A2 as i’m calling them eventually).

Those two last gates will be on the next extension which will be two more similar sized boards below of this picture featuring mostly a very detailed land side of the terminal. I’m choosing to do this so I have flexibility over only setting up one board, all four, or any combination. The terminal will cover up most of the seams as only 3/4” of the building sits on these boards as you can also see in the photo.

The small white building in the middle will be a bump out on an eventual terminal building to add more interest to it. It has yet to be fully designed but I hope to grab inspiration from a handful of 2000s/2010s terminals around the US.

I have no clue when i’ll get around to this (probably after PHL is finished) but I don’t think I’ll stray too far from this layout. I have a Terminal B sketched out eventually too but that’s wayyyyy later down the line for me😅

This is going to be great! Always cool to see all these US Airways planes together :love:
I like the red Metrojet 737... stands out among all these others!

and this is the best part! Technically these are mostly the standard US Airways gate markings of the 2000s (which is helpful for the majority of my collection) BUT they’re so simple enough but still “proper” that I can set up anything if I want to. A small Delta hub? Sure! A couple different airlines every few gates? Absolutely. The options are nearly endless on this board. The only thing I can’t show off is anything widebody that’s not a 767. Still brainstorming some ways I can display a handful all together on one smaller sized board.

I just hope I have the same colored paints for the concrete still kicking around or this will not go as planned🤣
