Kits-World - 1/72 Fliegerhorst Grove, Denmark- 1.(F)/33 (possibly transited through the base), Danish units post-war. 450mm(W) x 450mm(H) 17inches(W) x 17inches(H).

Located near the Danish town of Karup, the construction of Grove was commenced shortly after the German occupation of Denmark in 1940, with the base becoming operational later that year. By 1945, the base had grown with the addition of command bunkers, aircraft revetments, anti-aircraft defences and radar facilities. During 1944, an aircraft disposal area was constructed comprising a runway, taxiways and parking areas spaced in groups of three. These were paved with perforated Rasensteine as seen here. Each slab measured around 450-500mm in diameter. The parking areas were surrounded on three sides by earthen banks to give additional protection to aircraft. After the war, the base became a camp for German refugees, before being taken over by the Royal Danish Air Force. Air Base Karup continues to this day as the major Royal Danish Air Force base.
