ICM 48231 - 1/48 Soviet PAG-14 Concrete Airfield Plates

The ICM 48231 - 1/48 Soviet PAG-14 Airfield Plates give modellers a reliable base to recreate Soviet wartime airfields in miniature. These plates mimic the interlocking concrete slabs used on many operational airfields, helping to ground aircraft displays in period detail.

Operational Role in WWII

PAG-14 plates were used to create rapid hard surfaces for aircraft operations, often laid in sections to form runways, taxiways and dispersal areas. Including them in a model scene adds context about how air operations were maintained during the conflict.

Scale Fit and Surface Texture

At true 1/48 scale the panel edges and surface texture are modelled to blend with standard aircraft kits. They take paint and weathering consistently, allowing you to match surface tone to mud, oil stains and wear patterns typical of active airfields.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: High-quality polystyrene
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Finish: Unpainted, ready for custom detailing
Yes, the polystyrene parts provide a stable surface for most 1/48 aircraft. For heavier builds you can mount them on a firm baseboard to prevent flex.
The plates include defined panel edges and texture to represent the joints and surface finish, ideal for emphasising weathering and dirt accumulation.
Yes, use a sharp hobby knife or fine saw to trim units for bespoke layouts. Clean the edges with fine sandpaper before painting.
Adding gravel, scattered debris or oil stains around panel joints helps sell the realism. Use scenic materials and pigments for best effect.
