  1. USN/RN Escort Carrier Deck & PSP Airfield Bases (70060 & 70059) 1:72 Arma Hobby Arma have a widening range of 1:72 kits, many of which would have flown either from carriers or temporary airfield, the latter having Pierced Steel Planking (PSP) laid over it to keep the mud to a minimum, as it is a huge impediment to operations for any aircraft. Both sets arrive in sleek cardboard packages that are folded around the injection-moulded bases, with a tab and slot keeping the wrapping in place, initially held firm by a length of tape. Once open, you can see the exceptional detail that has been moulded into these parts, each one measuring 15.2cm2, or 6” 2 section if you prefer, with a shallow vertical side all around. In addition, there is a QR code on the packaging that will lead you to a page on Arma’s site that provides 3D printer files to create some accessories to go with the base, on the assumption that you own an SLA 3D printer of course. The QR code on the base packaging offers bespoke accessories for the deck/airfield to accompany the bases, the parts appropriate for the type of base. The PSP base 3D files will print out fire extinguisher, toolboxes, fuel barrels, British ‘flimsy’ fuel cans, wheel chocks, and a wooden trestle, while the Carrier base has arrestor cable mounts, British and American versions of wheel chocks, and a bomb cart, all of which will add realism to your base and accompanying model (whatever you may build), with some careful painting. Markings There are no decals included in the boxes, as paint are all that is needed for these delightful bases, choosing suitable painted wooden and metallic shades where appropriate, with wear and a little rust if you choose. If you print the extras, some internet research will soon turn up some examples for paint colours. Conclusion The detail moulded into each of these bases is excellent, and once painted will be an excellent backdrop for your next model, or one that you’ve already built if that’s your intention. The 3D parts will be a boon to anyone with access to a printer, adding extra background interest to the model. Highly recommended.
