Miniart 1/48 Marston Mat Landing Strip (49017)

This article will tell you more about Miniart 1/48 Marston Mat Landing Strip (49017). New release comes as yet another handy accessory from the famous brand. Well, boxart directly hints that you can use this mat with P-47 from Miniart, but of course you can choose some different aircraft too. Overall packaging is typical, and two plates come sealed in one plastic bag. Let's open them and take a closer look together.

Watch this video where I show all parts even closer.

As you might have noticed, I said there are two plates of this type. Overall design is quite simple - large plain section with great surface details.

Note that features are uneven, just like on the real Marston Mat. This might be a perfect material for some weathering experiments as they rarely stayed clean and nice. Inside you will find special cell structure which adds rigidity. On the photo below you can see how two panels can be combined together.

In my opinion this is a great choice for modelers who don't want to build their own diorama base for the aircraft. Instead they can just buy this box, paint both panels and have a great display stand for WW2 airplane. Overall quality and idea are great as you don't have to do anything extra. Moreover, you can add some more items like staff car in the same scale. I wonder if we will see something of this sense from Miniart as well, so let's wait for next year announcements. :)
