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

Photo of the real thing.

They can also be made of plastic, similiar to styrene


Modeler must arrange them in the appropriate position,
glue them and fill the joints with something that simulates tar
