It took six years to build but an incredible new miniature model called Knuffingen Airport, based on Hamburg’s airport, has finally opened to the public.

It’s on display at Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg and features 40 aircraft that take off and land and 90 vehicles that trundle around the runways automatically.

Making something this small and perfectly formed doesn’t come cheap. It cost 3.5 million Euros – but the result is plane-ly amazing.

Very nice detail, almost life like... Wonder if they went so far as to have some the luggage in the planes rerouted to Pittsburgh?

That's probably close to 5 million USD! WHY.............?????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????

I'll admit it's cool, but if you want to experience the hustle & bustle of a busy airport... Fly 2 1 !!!!
