Uschi 3046 Display diorama Luftwaffe Compass Swing Ramp circular 1/72

We present a unique base: the Uschi 3046 Display diorama Luftwaffe Compass Swing Ramp circular in 1/72 scale, designed by the renowned company Uschi van der Rosten. This product was created for modelers who want to faithfully recreate historical realities in their dioramas, especially those related to German aviation from World War II.

The base depicts a circular "Compass Swing" ramp, which was commonly used by the Luftwaffe at German airfields during World War II. Ramps of this type served for the precise calibration of the onboard compass before sending an aircraft on a combat mission. Correctly positioning a plane on such a ramp eliminated the influence of metallic elements from the airfield and the aircraft itself on compass accuracy, which was crucial for navigation during combat flights.

The Uschi 3046 base model is made from high-quality cardboard and features a very precise, detailed print that replicates the texture of concrete as well as the characteristic markings and lines of the ramp. The diameter of the base is matched to 1/72 scale aircraft models, making it ideal for displaying German fighters such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109, Focke-Wulf Fw 190, or Heinkel He 111 bombers. It offers not only functionality but also exceptional aesthetics—placing your model on this base enhances your diorama with the authentic atmosphere of a German airfield from 1939–1945 (World War II).
