Description To quickly build temporary runways, US engineering services built various options for the airfield.

Aerodrome steel plates were M8A1 used in the Vietnam War in the second half of the 1960s and early 1970s and were installed by engineering units of the US Army.

Plates were connected to each other either staggered or in a row and allowed to build either separate small sites or airfields of impressive size.

Most often, such coatings were used in army aviation.

Various aircraft could be based on the sites created in this way, for example, combat helicopters AN-1Q Cobra, light attack aircraft, and observation aircraft OV-10A Bronco or O-2 Skymaster.

Also on such sites were operated well-known B-26K Counter Invader.

This is an accessory for a plastic model kit.
