 I've built model airports since I was a kid, initially for my 600 scale Schabaks and in later years for my 400 scale fleet. The largest has undoubtedly been the modern Chinese layout I named Xīn lóng (New Dragon) International. This diorama dates from mid-2015 but saw construction well into 2018. Since I moved back to the UK, from NZ, it has been moved around a few times but never really properly setup. Finally, I have gotten back to it and in 2024 it is being revitalised with an extension and overall upgrade.

 Recently I've been working to get my large Xin Long International Airport layout set back up properly for the first time since I left New Zealand. That has included looking to upgrade it in certain areas, which includes buildings and GSE. The recent discovery of AvGeek Models has made that a lot easier. In this post I take a look at their trucks and vans.
 Today is the first day of the China Beijing International Model Expo 2024, being held at the Beijing Exhibition Hall Theater for the next 3 days. Panda Models have a stand at the fair and are using it to announce their latest new 400 scale mould, which is the big MDD trijet the McDonnell Douglas MD-11.
 Inflation has been a serious issue for the World economy in recent times, even when you don't take into account your Prime Minister trying to tank the economy. This has led to price rises everywhere and, although inflation rates in the US have been relatively sedate compared to the UK, Gemini Jets latest releases, announced yesterday, come with a hefty price tag increase attached to them.
