Hi Brian!

Sadly no...

Other builds came in the way. To many projects and so little time...

Both France and Great Britain had developed "landing mats" prior to the development of PSP by the U.S. Army Air Force. PSP was developed primarily because Heavy Bombers could not use the previously developed material and method. Use your own judgment as to whether to use PSP on you Japanese Dio, it came into prominent use in 1941, by both the British and American contruction crews.

Hi Dimitrios!

Thanks for your comments...

I think a japanese plane on PSP would be rather anachronistic. PSP was a typical US/Allied material. The Japanese used a similar planking though (see link here ). But it was not widely used.

For a Pacific Island runway crushed coral is always a good look, matting or no matting
