ICM 72214 - 1/72 Soviet PAG-14 Airfield Plates for Authentic Airfield Scenes

The ICM 72214 1/72 Soviet PAG-14 Airfield Plates give scale modellers a practical way to recreate period correct concrete surfaces for aircraft displays. The moulded plates capture panel joints and surface texture typical of Soviet slabs, providing a believable backdrop that improves visual realism and historical context in your diorama.

Background and Modelling Interest

In the mid 20th century, Soviet airfields used PAG-14 concrete slabs to form durable runways and hardstands. These panels were built to support heavy aircraft operations and created a distinct, repeatable pattern on the ground. Including such details in a display helps convey operational context and era authenticity around your model.

Assembly Notes and Display Benefits

The ICM 72214 set contains accurately scaled plates that are straightforward to assemble, suitable for modellers at different experience levels. The 1/72 scale ensures compatibility with many fighters and transports, and careful painting and weathering will help the plates sit naturally under your aircraft models.

Yes, the plates are scaled to 1/72 and sit well with typical aircraft display bases. You may need minor trimming to align seams with your base shape.
Yes, the plastic trims cleanly with a hobby knife and fine files. Cut slowly and dry fit pieces before final assembly to maintain panel alignment.
Wash parts in warm soapy water to remove mould release, lightly sand any seam areas, then apply a primer suitable for plastic before base coats and weathering.
