Some small civil airports do have asphalt ramps, so an asphalt ramp is not completely out of the question.

 

 

While that may be true but not on Military bases.

Here is the link. I have only tried this once so far, on a Do 24 base. Most of mine aircrfat are on grass fields. I only used the painting part, which starts about a third of the way down. First time out i got a result that i was really pleased with and far better than my previous ones.

Looks good. I might suggest a gray concrete color for aircraft ramps though. Concrete for airfields is more common than asphalt.

 

I think that is a great idea. Initially I made the asphalt boards for photographing my model cars. You are correct, aircraft ramps are concrete. I think I'll make a concrete board.

The board in 20"x30". The plane is 1/48 scale. The most difficult part of making the board is removing the face paper.

Oh I like that, better than the cardboard I use. What scale is that? (sorry I didn't look at the link if it was in there)

I place my models on what looks like asphalt pavement before I photograph them.

I purchased a foam core board with black foam and paper. I removed the paper and then applied some paint to the foam. Click on this link to see how it is done.
