Guest Airfixer Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) Just in case... Maybe helpful for those gentlemen wanting to replicate self-made concrete hex slab airfield pavement: (dimensions in red = 1/32nd scale) The earliest precast hex slabs (r=1200mm, thickness 100-140mm) date back as far as 1931/1932. As operational aircraft grew heavier, the edge length was increased to 1500mm, accordingly. Slab thickness icreased up to 220mm. Also commonly found were hex slab sizes of 1800mm. As previously stated in an earlier post, the concrete hex slabs started to be superseded by the rectangular PAG-type prestressed concrete slabs during the very late 1960s/early 1970s.

Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 I think I will try to build the PAG 14 style in 1/32 maybe do a few of the hex Style off to one side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Gadbois Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hello Danny, By coincidence, I am working on a set of hex concrete slabs in 1/32. It is the 1.5 m type. I added texture to replicate the concrete surface. Here is what one section looks like: I will have more info shortly on LSP Discussion about this set. By the way, you can certainly mix different types of slabs plus conventional concrete sections on your display base. Note also on the various PAG 14 sections the different surface textures.

Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Allen when those come out I like to purchase a few from you!!!!!! I decided to try to build a master and make a mold of the PAG 14 tiles. The only problem is I can't read Russian. I don't know if those are in meters millimeters or what the measurements are! can someone translate that for me? I would greatly appreciate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Gadbois Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Thank you for your interest! I will keep you informed of the progress of the set. The measurements are in millimeters and, in the drawing above (Airfixer's post), red for 1/32. No need to learn Russian! So actual dimensions of PAG-14: 2000mm by 6000mm or simply 2m by 6m. Millimeters are often used in drawings, for example German aviation drawings are always(I think) in mm. Alain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyT Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Use sanding discs, they are self adhesive, cut to shape and then stick them to the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
