ILoveDelta777s is flying under the radar
Jetways

I want to get some jetways for my model airport but I have one question. Since the doors are at different heights on a 1:400 747 and different on a 1:400 737, how does it adjust?

Kind Regards,
ILoveDelta777s

Re: Jetways

With the GJ jetbridges, there is enough pivoting like a real jet bridge, allowing it to be adjusted up and down, depends on the aircraft type you are using it for.

Mmm... I didn't know that, LOL... that was what was putting me off buying them. Jay, what is the detail on the jetways like? I'd rather make some highly detailed customs jetways than get GJ version if they are of a crappy quality. Thanks.

What ?

I recommend them, if you dont have patience of making your own. They are pretty detailed, to the stairs on the side, and it's fully extendable.

I bought a few, and modify them. But these ones used at these narrowbodies, haven't done much to them except to modify them in the future. just like what I did on the widebody jetbridges.

OK, Thanks for that Jay... but I can't help but get the feeling you are trying to make me jealous of you models (j/k) LOL

Thanks for that: is it possible to make "dark window effects" on the jetways by colouring/filling the "recess" on either side of the jetway? Thanks

Re: Jetways

I'm not sure, but be careful, cause you won't have enough "space" to work with. What I did was I added some printed window on a photo paper, cut them into the correct sizes and glued with onto the jetbridges.

From my previous thread, http://www.wings900.com/vb/model-air...ss-thread.html

These are old pictures, modified lightly, haven't got time to take photos of their current condition right now, but here's to give you an idea, and hopefully "ILoveDelta777s" will catch the idea as well.

The naked look, straight from the GJ factory.
