Manufacturer description

This highly detailed and scaled low relief model is based on the Cold War HASs at former RAF Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire, UK, where the structures are protected scheduled monuments of national and international importance.

HASs can still be seen on active and former RAF airbases including Coningsby, Lossiemouth and Marham, Honington, Leeming and St Mawgan, Lakenheath, Alconbury, Bentwaters, MoD Boscombe Down, and at sites across Europe.

The Low Relief HARDENED AIRCRAFT SHELTER is ideal for displaying 1/72 scale aircraft and is supplied assembled and pre-painted.

Catalogue listing

Bachmann Low Relief Hardened Aircraft Shelter is a highly detailed, scaled model representing the Cold War Hardened Aircraft Shelters (HASs) that were located at former RAF Upper Heyford in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. The product is supplied by Bachmann and carries the manufacturer part number PKSC001. It depicts the period when British Rail employed the blue livery prior to the introduction of the TOPS system.

The model reproduces the low‑relief structure of the HASs, which are now protected scheduled monuments of national and international importance. These shelters were built to protect aircraft from attack and remain visible on both active and former RAF airbases.

Similar hardened shelters can still be observed at a number of RAF stations, including Coningsby, Lossiemouth, Marham, Honington, Leeming, St Mawgan, Lakenheath, Alconbury, Bentwaters, the Ministry of Defence site at Boscombe Down, and at various locations across Europe.

The low‑relief hardened aircraft shelter is intended for display with 1/72‑scale aircraft. It is supplied fully assembled and pre‑painted, ready for immediate use.
