1/48th scale SEA/Desert Storm/PACAF aircraft revetment measurements & questions

[F4DPhanv3]

To my fellow modelers:

 

REALLY want to display my 1/48th SEA F-4E/F-4D//RF-4C aircraft projects in their natural habitats in SEA (RTAB Udorn/RTAB Ubon) while parked in their revements.

 

Through Hannants, Aircraft in Miniature offers a nice revetment set:

But came across a beautiful 3D printed set from Coastal Kits:

I've obtained both, trying to figure out what will work best for me & my projects......

 

Both are beautiful and well made.....HOWEVER:

 

....there is a significant size discrepancy between each 'wall' section from each manufacturer.......

 

see attached photos......

 

 

 

 

Soooooo....

 

Does anyone have any info on size/dimensions of the sections for SEA and modern revetments? I did a Google search and didn't come up with anything useful......

 

...maybe revetment section size varied with manufacturer/theatre/time frame?

 

Appreciate everyone's input and thoughts!

 

Thanks,

 

Mike
