WOW memories of Lackland AFB 1965 we marched from one set of barracks to new ones and it was these. 

My Dad was a USAF electrical mechanic on F-86Ds and he went through basic there I think in 1958. My brother, now retired as a USAF LtCol, was stationed there running a training unit at one point. He took dad out to where Dad recalled his barracks area set up, but the entire area had been razed to the ground years before.

As for building a model of one of these, a full interior would take a lot of work, with all those bunks in the open bay barracks and footlockers to make… During WW2 they didn’t have metal wall lockers like they did in later years in these, and instead much of a GI’s stuff was on wood shelves recessed into the walls behind each bunk. The only stuff you locked up was in your footlocker.
