Soviet airfield plates (PAG-14)

This time we present to you the Soviet airfield plates PAG-14 in the 1/72 scale
(they can be also made in 1/48 scale)

The USSR made these plates as a replacement for the old hexagonal ones,

 which could not withstandthe load of newer and heavier aircraft.

They are still in use today
