A Soviet military airfield of the nineteen-eighties in 1:72 scale is a themed plastic kit from the Ukrainian manufacturer ICM, aimed at a scene from the operation of a frontline air base.
Responsibility details are not available.
The themed kit in 1:72 scale from the Ukrainian manufacturer ICM rests on a different idea from an ordinary model of an aircraft. Its subject is not one machine but a scene: the equipment of a Soviet air base of the nineteen-eighties as it worked together on the ramp. The set is injection-molded from polystyrene and is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Check the particular make-up of the package on the packaging.
In the nineteen-eighties a Soviet frontline airfield was an operationally self-contained whole. Besides the runway, it included revetments and hardened ramps, refueling and starting equipment on truck chassis, trolleys for carrying munitions and ground personnel. It is precisely this layer that gives an aviation model scale and meaning. An aircraft built on its own looks static, and only the ground support around it shows how a base worked and how many people and machines were needed for a single takeoff. For a modeler it is at the same time a rewarding period, because the armament and the ground equipment were settled at that time.
Build the set in groups and finish each one separately before you set it on a common base. ICM plastic is fairly soft, so a thin cement for polystyrene applied with a brush will do, but it pays to try the parts dry and to fill and sand the seams. Even the surface out with primer, spray the base shades with an airbrush and even the transitions between the equipment and the surface of the airfield out only with a final matte varnish. Create the operational look sparingly: a darker wash into the engraved lines, dust and mud with pigments from the lower areas upward, and oil stains only where they would really arise. Concrete areas work best when every panel gets a slightly different shade of gray.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
