I finished my Quonset Hut project over the weekend, for my O scale model railroad.
This has a full interior and lighting. It's replaced the Nissen hut which really wasn't accurate for stateside WW2.

The front has the usual names sign for the chain of command. "J Stuart" is my nephew's first and middle name (he's also a real life Army Captain, just like I was before I got out). "R Sayes" refers to one of my best friends, and a real mentor for model trains.

Can you show us a photo with a wider view so we can see it in context of the entire layout?* Is it near an airfield or just an Army base? Any other neat stuff...tanks, more vehicles?
If it is 1/48, how about a disassembled L-4 in the back of a GMC?

*But not necessarily the entire layout, I'm sure it's too large for a good photo.

The devil, you say! It fills a 10X11 foot room:

No airplanes would make any sense. I seriously considered showing a crashed CG-4 glider, as the 101st did fly over that valley the year it takes place, but nobody make a Waco kit in that scale I'm aware of...
My layout is O scale narrow gauge, taking place in East Tennessee during 1943. It's a small section of military stuff, for a single Company of a (fictional) Railway Operating Battalion. I think I'm the only person in the hobby with his own fictional Railway Unit insignia!

Oh, it's also in a magazine you can find at some magazine racks right now:
