For about the past 10 years I've made different dioramas of SFO, and I'm starting to dig out the photos of the older ones, and ones I still have boxed away. First up in SFO as it was in the late 1940s - back in the "San Francisco Airport" days.
The terminal was built in 1937, as part of WPA project (if memory serves correctly). The design was Spanish Colonial Revival, and certainly one of my favorite terminal designs. It's a bit hard to get models for the diorama, given the timeframe (1:400 scale).
The diorama has made the rounds in the Model Airliner magazine (2018) and it's seen time to time at the SFO Airliner Collectible Show (I brought it over back in March 2020).
I'll post more SFO dioramas as I find the pics.
