Herpa States: Fighter planes at air bases are placed in so called shelters or HAS (hardened aircraft shelters), the official NATO name, to protect them from attack. These protective buildings are made of concrete and are equipped with steel pipes to withstand the blast wave of a detonation. Replicated in the 1/200 scale with moveable doors you can now protect the more compact military aircraft on your diorama, including the Eurofighter.

Figurines and the display of single scenes enliven the diorama. The set contains a total of 24 figures, including two supervisors, pilots, various ground personnel, and two cockpit ladders.

In a world surrounded by plastic we often forget that the root of model building goes back to the basics, paper and glue. While there are companies that sell only paper models of ships, aircraft, buildings, towns, cars, etc., we haven't seen a company that devoted their product line to the model airport community. Enter Airport Designs of the United Kingdom (http://www.airportdesigns.com/) with their all new line of 1:400 and 1:500 terminals, jet-bridges, ground foils and accessories. Ok so at this point you are thinking to yourself that there is no way a paper model could possibly look good on your airport. Think again, this is not an index card model and as we discuss below the amount of detail in these models are impressive, not to mention that it does take a bit of a skilled hobbyist to build the models.
