I think this occasion calls for some planes at the gates and some overall shots in addition to the closeups.

Now that the decal work is complete on the entire terminal, I thought I would share some photos

Looking really good! Awesome to see those classic birds. Now it's time to add some GSE 
That's been the issue. Having trouble finding GSE that's era and locale appropriate. If you have any suggestions, they would be much appreciated.Looking really good! Awesome to see those classic birds. Now it's time to add some GSE

The best would be 3D Printing. You can find some stuff on Shapeways!

Amazing work @Purpleplane and @IndyJets! I remember you guys were using timetables to recreate the scenes. With that in mind, I find it impressive that TWA was operating a St. Louis turn on a 762!

Thank you. Yes, it is amazing that they ran 767's like that.. They even ran L-1011's the same way..at least until the mid-80's.
Shapeways has a reputation for being overpriced and low quality. Plus i have not been able to figure out any efficient way to search their catalog. I could design it myself if I could get reference material. I designed the entire terminal for 3D printing.

After all painting is complete, I'll apply the card stock for the top level parking, the elevator houses, and the sky bridges..and the decals.

Looks fantastic! Are you planning to get some 1:400 cars and put them on the top level?
Yes, as soon as era/locale appropriate ones can be located. Having the same issue with GSE...
The top level of the parking garage wasn't heavily used anyway.... except by the occasional spotter. Most "normal" people tended to park on level 3 when possible, since that's where the skybridge connections to the terminal were located.

do you guys know what regional carriers were operating in ohio during the late 80s? How many flights were there to day?
Not off the top of my head... but I did just pick up a group of OAGs off of ebay, including issues from 1987, 88, 89 and 90.
Which cities in Ohio? Columbus? Cleveland? Cincinnati? Dayton? Toledo? Akron/Canton?
