1:72 FAUN - TRACKWAY HELICOPTER LANDING MAT FLAT - BASE - ACRYLIC 3 MM (280 X 180 MM) (170 G)

A 1:72 FAUN Trackway display board, the flat landing area

A 1:72 FAUN Trackway display board, the flat landing area is a printed display board for a model in 1:72 scale. It is not a kit and not a part to be fitted to a model, but a board in its own right with a realistic print of a surface. You stand a model on it in a display case as well as when photographing, and the scene gains at once the setting the real subject moved in. The board is acrylic, 3 mm thick and 280 x 180 mm in size.

What the display board shows

The print reproduces the flat variant of a portable helicopter landing area of the FAUN Trackway type. The British system of unrolling metal panels is spread over soft or waterlogged ground and within a few minutes turns it into a load-bearing surface on which a helicopter can land or heavy equipment can drive. Areas of this type are used on exercises, in humanitarian operations and in field conditions where there is no hardened airfield. The flat form looks more sober and lets the shadows under the fuselage and the landing gear of the model come out.

How to use it

• As a base under a finished model in a display case or on a shelf.
• As a backdrop for photographing a model, where the print takes the place of a complicated set.
• As a quick basis for a small scene, which you can later complete with a figure or some equipment.
• For a competition table, where a model needs a clean, uniform-looking area.

Who it is for

The display board suits builders of helicopters and modern military equipment in 1:72 scale who want to place a model in a setting without building a whole diorama. It will also serve collectors who are unifying the look of a display case, and modelers who photograph their work regularly.

A practical note: wipe the printed side only with a soft dry cloth, without solvents, and store the display board flat so that it stays even. A model is not part of the delivery.
