These steel plates withstood heavy loads and enabled the installation of stable, durable airfield surfaces for various aircraft on soft or unstable ground. Their perforated design allowed water to drain easily from the surface without compromising the covering’s quality. The Marston Mat, named after its first testing location near Marston, North Carolina, in November 1941, became widely used in combat operations across the Pacific theater, North Africa, and Europe. U.S. Army and Navy engineering units could construct airfields of various sizes in just days using these plates. After the war, the plates found new life in peaceful applications, particularly in building temporary roads and platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKit Features:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale : 1:48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime period : WW2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel size (length x width) : 224×255 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBox size : 247 x 183 x 33 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of details : 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/48   \u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICM Models   \u003cstrong\u003eItem:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICM48411\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: ICM Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubject: Marston Mat, WWII US Landing Mat (100% new moulds)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: ICM48411\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct type: Model Accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/icm-models\"\u003eICM Models\u003c\/a\u003e, browse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/aftermarket-parts\"\u003eAftermarket Parts\u003c\/a\u003e or prepare your next project with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tools-supplies\"\u003eTools \u0026amp; Supplies\u003c\/a\u003e at Mega Hobby.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ICM Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67974303383626,"sku":"ICM48411","price":22.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/3066\/5546\/files\/icm48411-148-icm-marston-mat-wwii-us-landing-mat-100percent-new-moulds-squadron-model-models__44719.1749253908.jpg?v=1794548785","url":"https:\/\/megahobby.com\/products\/icm48411","provider":"Mega Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
