Emil Zarkov has a similar hangar planned (with all kinds of accessories). I cannot give you an ETA but It's definitely high in the priority list.

Paper model hangar kits would be an interesting thing to see.

Just realized there is this kit.
1/48 Modular Aircraft Museum Paper Model

We've had that DGA Aircraft Museum kit in the store for quite some time.
Its a nice setup.
One of the reasons I never bothered with my own Hangar kit.

As many of you know, I already offer three Airfield Accessory kits.
WW2, post WW2 and Modern stuff.
Looks like some of the accessories appear to be in cnhalfpap's display (above).

I did a Auto Garage Wall set (also offered at pm.com)...its a free download.
Maybe I should do up something for Aircraft display too?
Something a little simpler, but a free download?

But first, take a look at the DGA kit if you want something more complicated.

Just my experience with my hangar build .
Depending on the scale , say 1/33 .
If you want more than one airplane in it , or you want a multi engine model in it , the diorama will need to be big .
My diorama almost takes up the whole tabletop , of a four place table

Hi Dave.....aircraft hanger idea sounds good.....not sure where I can find the DGA Aircraft Museum kit you mentioned....is it on your website....I was looking for a smaller hanger model...your accessories are the kind of things I like.

WOW....didn't realize the diorama was that big....guess I should have realized your airplane models were 1/33 size....still a good looking presentation.

The DGA kits (Design Group Alpha) are available at ecardmodels.
I won't do any more promotion in that sense, since its just hijacking cnhalfpap's thread.
Just search for it over there please.

Yeah, thats the problem with creating something for 1/33 kits.
I actually created my Airfield Accessories in 1/50 scale, so things would fit on the page!
Scaling up is not too hard during printing with lots of small parts
but a Wall kit needs to be produced in the preferred scale right from the start.
Probably need to produce two kits, in both 1/33 and 1/50 scales?

I'll talk further with cnhalfpap about his design here.
Maybe we can collaborate and create a free Hangar kit.
Just got to make sure he is properly credited for this original design.
I'm kinda busy right now, so I don't want to design anything from scratch myself.
But maybe, with his permission, I could modify the design into a kit to share.

To go one step further with how big the diorama is .
It seems the hangar has drawn a lot of attention from local modelers .
They ask if I could bring to the monthly model meetings , so they can see it .
It wouldn't fit in the cab of my little truck , and would be stupid to put it in the bed , without a camper shell .
So I built a box for it , just got it finished .
There's the local model contest this weekend .
My hangar with either be entered in the contest , or on display table for people to see.
