1:72 Belgian Kleine Brogel Air Base Type 2 - Base - Acrylic 3mm (280mm x 180mm) (170g)

Belgian Kleine Brogel Air Base Type 2: a surface for 1:72 scale

A finished printed surface with the motif of the Belgian Kleine Brogel air base in a second treatment. You are not buying a kit but an area on which an already finished model is stood. The Type 2 designation means a different view from the Type 1 variant of the same range.

A piece of Belgian aviation

Kleine Brogel is one of the main bases of the Belgian Air Force and since the 1960s it has gone through a number of re-equipments. Today the 10th Tactical Wing operates from there with F-16 aircraft, and the base is at the same time the setting for international training events to which crews gather from all over Europe.

Advice on displaying

• Place the model off center; the composition gains dynamism from it.
• Do not bend the surface over the edge of a table; a permanent crease is a risk.
• Wipe fingerprints off dry, as wet cleaning can do harm.
• Add ground equipment; the area of the base will carry it naturally.

The colors that suit it

Among the best-known units on the base is the 31st Squadron with its tiger symbolism, whose machines appear at NATO Tiger Meet gatherings in striking special finishes. It is precisely for models like those that a soberly gray area is a rewarding surface, because it lets a colorful finish stand out and does not compete with it for attention.

Who it will serve

It suits builders of modern European fighters, collectors of Belgian color schemes and modelers who want a uniform and convincing background for a whole collection. It also works well as an area for photographing the progress of a build along the way, because it is neutral and does not compete with a model for attention.
