If i am to purchase the complete set of airport and road lights, does this provide me with everything i need to fit and light my airport?

Also does anyone know a good model shop in the uk where i can purchase tools to build a terminal building, eg walls, roof etc

Many thanks for your comments

From my point of view, buy the Herpa fibre-kit for runway/taxiway lights, but stay away from the Herpa lightpoles for apron-illumination. I do not think they look any realistic at all.
Instead You should look for z-scale lightpoles for model-railroad. I think they look far better then the big "paperclips" from Herpa.

Here is a few pics from my 1/500 airport with Viessmann z-scale lamps:
