1/400 US Airport - Southwest Airlines Base

[Thomson737]

Hello and welcome to my venture across the Atlantic focusing primarily on Southwest Airlines from the early 2000s through to present day amongst other airlines and aircraft frames that will also feature.

My love for Southwest Airlines began when ITV2 aired Airline USA. As a B737 fan, this series was very fitting with all the clips of their fleet in action during each episode.

The inspiration from this project is a section from Chicago Midway. I am aware the layout wasn't always like this and given my choice of other operations, this will be purely a fantasy concept.

The base print is by Layover Layouts who does exceptional work.

This will be my last update on this in the meantime while I revisit and explore past avenues. This particular diorama is not quite giving me the spark to continue. I've fulfilled my quest of acquiring the majority of Southwest models I wanted in a short space of time (to my surprise). I've enjoyed showcasing what I have up to this point, and may continue in the future.
