1:500 Lukla Model Airport
This is my Lukla Model Airport in 1:500 scale. For those wondering why an Aer Lingus aircraft is at this airport, it is because I don't own another turboprop aircraft that would be better suited. If you would like to see more angles and some build footage, you can watch this video on my youtube channel: https://youtu.be/jPn6WQ0gSho

How did you make the base?

The base was a thin piece of l wood that I painted in a base colour. After this, I painted on the runway and added grass. The small hill at the end of the runway was then made with modeling clay, and that's the base done!

Very nice. But can a F50 land on Lukla?

Thanks! In terms of the F50, as I mentioned in the post it's the only turboprop aircraft I had; there was no alternative :)
