This Simple|BASE Airfield Base offers a rugged, historically accurate platform for displaying scale model aircraft. Based on the standardized PAG-14 (ПАГ-14) slab used extensively throughout Soviet-era military airfields, this version brings Cold War realism to your display. Originally designed for rapid deployment and high load-bearing performance, the real PAG-14 slabs were prestressed concrete panels measuring 2m x 6m x 14cm and were commonly used across Soviet-bloc airbases well into the 1980s.
These slabs were engineered for durability under harsh conditions—supporting operations on expansive soils, in freezing climates, and at remote or temporary military installations. Their use continued post-Cold War, including by Ukrainian forces..
Each base is laser-engraved to replicate the welded joint seams and concrete texture of these iconic slabs. Whether you're modeling a MiG-21, Su-25, or transport aircraft, this base adds unmistakable authenticity.
