A trend among aircraft model collectors is to build scale models of airports. While airport models have been around, in a way, since air fields were open to the public, early model airports were basically restricted to public showcases about the airport and its surroundings to the public; these were usually located inside the airport themselves.{{Citation needed|date=December 2014}} One of the first model airport toys available to the public was Fisher-Price's Little People's airport set, released in the 1970s.{{Citation needed|date=December 2014}} However, since Herpa Wings's introduction of their airport set series to their line of airline related toys, there has been an increase of aircraft modelers who have made mock airports to showcase their private collection of model aircraft. Usually, the collector will model their airport after a real life airport.{{Citation needed|date=December 2014}} Most of the time, collectors who make model airports use die-cast models for their creation. Among the brands of die cast aircraft models most commonly used on these airports are Schabak, Herpa Wings, Dragon Models Limited, Gemini Jets, Phoenix Models, JC Wings and others.{{Citation needed|date=December 2014}} Model airports could be made to look very realistic, with many real airport features such as terminals, control towers, cargo terminals, hangars, passenger bridges and more. Conversely, they could also be very simple, as some collectors just get a piece of paper, draw a runway on it, place it over a table, add their plane models and call it their model airport.{{Citation needed|date=December 2014}} In 2011, what may be the world's largest model airport opened for public view at Miniatur Wunderland, Hamburg, Germany. Knuffingen International Airport is based on Hamburg International Airport.[1] Another popular park in Europe, Madurodam in the Netherlands, includes a model airport[2] featuring models of several airlines such as KLM, Transavia, Thai Airways, Korean Air, Delta Air Lines and an A380 of Singapore Airlines.[3] The Madurodam airport is based on Amsterdam's Schipol Airport See also
