Backgrounds

Post by TobyC »

Can anyone point me in the direction of a site that does 1/72 backdrops such as airfields, sky, countryside, aircraft carriers etc.

I don't think these have changed in the last 30 years or so since I was a teenager and used them for my train set. There may be something of use to you.

I've got quite a few of their products and they are very good however what I really want are airfield control towers, hangars and the towers of aircraft carriers. I'm surprised they don't seem to be available.
