Singapore Airlines Jubilee planes

SQ painted three of its planes in the Jubilee colors. The 777 and A340 are by DreamJets, while the 747 is by BigBird.

The early 80s

These years saw more widebodies - from foreground to the back: HWC PanAm L-1011, SQ Heritage series A300B4 and BB PAL 747-2F6B mabuhay! Chicago.

Malayan Airways and MSA

The Singapore Airlines Heritage sets include the various props and early jets from SIA's history. Examples include the DC-3, DC-4 and the Vickers Viscount

Just prior to the split of MSA into SIA and MAS, their fleet consisted of 707s, 737s and Fokkers.

The late 70s

The North American carriers came during the late 70s.

Featured are: HWC Delta 747-100, SJ 727-200, HWC PanAm L1011 and another HWC TWA 747SP.

Radio Tower

I thought the old terminal building was a bit "bare" on top with nothing going on. Rather than making an aiport tower, I thought of just making one in the fashion of Kai Tak's control tower.

This I then positioned on the top of the old terminal building. It may not be as elaborate, but at least it does its job of making this building look like it's an airport piece.

Again, I used cardboard, plastic sheets and a combination of painted toothpicks and plastic model leftovers for the antennae.

The 70s

The old terminal building in action... It saw the arrival of many old Asian carriers, and long-hauls from Europe as well. Seen above is an SAS DC-8 taxiing past the terminal on its return flight home.

Air India used its 707s to fly to Paper Interncontinental via Bangkok, continuing forward to Tokyo.

Main Terminal Building

This has likewise been made out of cardboard that has been painted over with acrylic paint. I used an old plastic folder for the glass parts of the building. The holes on the jetways will be for airportdesings-style boarding bridges.

In the Beginning...

I made this terminal some years ago, before I entered med school. It is completely made of cardboard (illustration board) painted over with acrylic paint. The lines are marked using a silver gel pen.

The mat came with my wings club subscription, and the construction equipment are of course herpa's.
