Hi friends,
Remember Pelter International Airport? If not, check out this thread: https://www.wings900.com/vb/model-air...0-airport.html

Just like the title says, I made a new airport. It's still called Pelter International, but it's the newer, more modern, more realistic airport. No airlines have a hub there (Pelter Airlines will if GJ releases an ERJ-195 mold I can make some customs), but United has a focus city there and has a maintenance hangar there. This airport has a beach near the foot of runway 15, similar to SXM's. The airport currently has one terminal, with jetways A1-A9, and gates A10-A17 as bus gates. Gates A3-A7 are widebody gates, (narrowbody aircraft usually use gates A3-A7 if they're open), and the rest are narrowbody. Gate A7 has two jetways to accommodate 747s and A380s (however, no airlines send A380s here). In some of the photos, you might see some green balls. Those are pieces from the grass mat that came off. I'll clean this when I paint the tarmac. I haven't made the tarmac yet because I don't have any UniPosca pens, but I'm going to order some soon, and I can make it then.

Anyway, enjoy the pictures! I am fairly pleased with the result.

The time is roughly 6 am.
