Biggest model airport of the world at day and at night in 1:87 HO scale

The most famous model railway exhibition in Germany, and the largest of its kind in the world, is the Miniature Wonderland. The model train show takes 1,300 square meters or 13,993 square feet. Beside the trains there is a replicate of the Hamburg Airport. It is called “Knuffingen Airport”, the world’s biggest miniature airport in 1:87 scale.
After more than six years of construction, the world’s smallest airport was opened in May, 2011. The aerodrome is not only an attraction for aviation enthusiasts, but also for technology fans, for aircraft spotter and for model constructors. Approximately 40 different aircrafts and planes, like Cessna, Boeing and Airbus, are taxing independently on the airport apron. The planes also being moved back from the terminals, taxing behind a follow me car or enter the runway. Furthermore, airplanes are accelerating for taking off, and they are landing on the main runway. Each plane is equipped with original lights and sounds.
There are 40,000 lights, 100 kilometer of electric wiring, more than 15,000 miniature figures. In order to simulate take-off and landings a catapult is used to let the aircrafts glide through the air. And, there is an extraordinary car system at the airport, for example an airport fire brigade, numerous busses, service vehicles, facility trucks, follow-me cars, push back trucks and many more. At least, there is a day and night simulation.

I mean I have no words for this.What a great detailing,seriously.Amazing.Each and every aspect of an airport have been so well portrayed that it looks more than a real.If you wouldn't have mentioned that it was a model then everyone would've just thought that it was a short film of a real time airport which was filmed using a drone or something like that.Loved it.I surely can respect and truly admire the hard work you must have put it in and also the other guys who would've helped you out to pull off this amazing maneuver. Admiration from India.

[@thickdaddy39]

I went here in 2017. Miniatur Wunderland. It's in Hamburg, Germany. OMG it is amazing. I'd love to go again. Loved seeing Air Berlin. That's who I flew there. To bad they went out of business.

This looks like Knufingen Airport (Miniature Wunderland - Hamburg, Germany). An Amazing Place. The airport is magnificent, but is hardly the only amazing site of the museum... If you are anywhere near Hamburg, this is a "must visit" location. It can easily take an entire day to see the entire facility. Take a personal tour (if you can) and see it all "behind the scenes"... So many nice memories of this place.

[@thickdaddy39]

It's absolutely fantastic!

[@ModelRailwaysAndDioramas]

Wow, this is absolutely incredible! 🛫 The scale and detail of the world's largest miniature airport in 1/87 scale are truly breathtaking. The fact that this project took over six years to complete really speaks to the dedication and precision involved. Watching the 40 different aircraft, including Boeings and Airbuses, taxiing independently across the tarmac is just mesmerizing. 🌍✈ I'm particularly amazed by the realistic movements of the planes, from taxiing to takeoff and landing, all enhanced by original lights and sounds. With 40,000 lights, over 100 kilometers of wiring, and more than 15,000 miniature figures, the complexity is astounding. The catapult system for simulating takeoffs and landings is a genius touch! Could you share more about how the day and night simulation is achieved? Also, I’d love to know more about the special vehicle systems like the airport fire brigade and the pushback trucks. This project is a fantastic intersection of technology and creativity, capturing the bustling atmosphere of a real airport. Great job to everyone involved in bringing this miniature marvel to life!
