> Masterpiece Models are based in the USA, and is a maker of some highly
> incredibly detailed and amazingly resin and multimedia model kits of
> Military equipment and vehicles, science fiction subjects, dinosaur
> fossils and real space subjects. They also offer many extra services
> which include plastic fabrication, casting and product design. They also
> have a line of excellent diorama bases and airfield tarmacs, which are
> worth checking out.

> The 1/48 German airfield base measures 11" x 11" inches square (280mm x
> 280mm) and is made from a hard high density foam. The detail of the
> tarmac is excellently done with cracks and potholes located on the
> concrete squares. The turf features tyre tracks in a muddy ground. The
> base would require some sort of a primer before painting and weathering.
> Also require would be a small amount of clean up around the edges' and
> side of the base. But if you were planning insert the base into a wooden
> frame you would skip all that clean up. The base well packed and
> protected with bubble wrap for shipping. I applied primer to the base to
> photograph the details, it showed a lot of small dimples and bubble
> holes from the foam that will require some work to fill and clean up.
>
> The base is well worth the price, and would look fantastic once its
> painted and weathered with your favorite Luftwaffe subject placed on it.
> The is no assembly require and is recommended to anyone.
