A photo-etched relief of an American landing mat in 1:144 scale from Brengun. A base surface for a scene with an aircraft, not a kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
The manufacturer describes the product as a photo-etched relief of an American landing mat. It is not a model of an aircraft or an add-on for a model: it is a surface on which a finished machine is set. Etching manages what is otherwise hard to do, namely the regular perforation and the gaps between panels that make up the characteristic pattern of such a strip. It comes from the Czech manufacturer Brengun.
The perforated steel panels that came to be known as Marston Mat arose in the United States shortly before the Second World War for the quick building of temporary airfields. They took their name from the place where they were first used during an army exercise in the autumn of 1941. The panels measured about three meters long and just under forty centimeters wide, interlocked with hooks, and their punched openings drained water away. Thanks to them a usable strip could be laid on waterlogged or loose ground within days, which showed most in the Pacific theater.
Put a flat board under the sheet, glue it over its whole area with contact adhesive or a thin layer of cyanoacrylate glue and take care that no bubble is left anywhere. Paint it with a dark gray base, then spray lightly over with a dust shade and work a dark wash into the perforation. A fine drybrush along the edges will pull out the bruised metal and the tire marks.
This is an addition to a scene. The aircraft model, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
