Airport Fuel Storage Depot


The airline Luft Hansa operated until April 22, 1945 with one last plane flying out of Berlin's Templhof airport two days ahead of the Russians.


I have been building a small Luft Hansa operation for my Battle of Berlin game. Naturally, for airliners, fuel is an important aspect of getting planes ready to fly.


This little fuel storage shack is made up of bits from the spares bin. The floor is sheet styrene with a pattern of squares on it for concrete. The verticals are H bars from Evergreen Plastic. The roof has been sitting in the spares box for about 20 years, who knows where it came from. The barrels are from several companies, including Roco and the fuel pump and hand truck are from Roco. The figure is Preiser.
