Which item are you refering too?

I know Just Plane Stuff make them and I have just completed one. I stock them in the UK but they are more expensive here than in the states so it wouldn't make any sense you having one from me! You can get full details from their site -

www.justplanestuff.net

Here is the description (assuming 1:48) -

Scale: 1/48
Media: Resin
Category: Display Base
Dimensions: 10 by 12 inches
Description: German hardstand used by the Luftwaffe throughout Europe and Russia during WWII.
Price: $24.95

You can get them from the manufacturer (Dave Schemel) or from -
* Squadron Mail Order
* Great Models Webstore
* North American Hobbies
* Roll Models

Hope this helps,

Lee

Kenny, I measured my 1/48 scale Eduard one, and the planks measure about 4 inches wide, and 71/2 foot long.

Hi Kenny!

This news could be interesting for you:
Mark58 1/48 airfield structures

I'm using Mark58 hardstands and wooden walls for my current project:
Luftwaffe Diorama

It won't probably help you right now, but hopefully in the near future...
