> 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

> The 1/48 Pacific Airfield molded with a Mardsen matting or known as PSP
> (pierced steel planking). Even it states Pacific Airfield and the photo
> shows an F4U Corsair parked on it, this base would suit Korean or
> Vietnam War aircraft subjects.. The base measures 12 inches by 12 inches
> (305mm x 305mm) and is made from a hard high density foam. The detail of
> the PSP planking is excellently done, and features small sandy area on
> the one of the corners with two palm tree stumps. 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 a aircraft placed on it. There is no assembly
> require at all and is recommended to anyone.
