Patchwork fields in green and harvest gold, hedgerows and lanes threading between them, dark blocks of woodland, villages sitting where the roads meet. It's ordinary European countryside — seen the way a pilot sees it, which is to say small, distant, and entirely beside the point until something goes badly wrong.

Air games have a problem no ground game has: the table under your models is meant to be a thousand feet of empty sky, and most people end up flying over a green cloth, a wooden table, or somebody's dining room placemat. Put this down and the altitude does the work for you. Your aircraft are above something.

• High-altitude aerial view — fields, hedgerows, woodland, roads and villages at the scale you'd actually see them from a cockpit, with nothing large enough to fight over or argue about
• No printed features to catch on flight stands, no scale cues, no ground terrain competing with your aircraft for attention
• Muted, desaturated greens and golds by design. Aircraft models — grey, green, silver, camouflaged — read clearly against it instead of disappearing into it, and it photographs cleanly
• Works under 1/300, 1/285, 1/200 and 1/144 aircraft, and equally as a distant-ground backdrop for larger scales
• FeltPro™ felt — a lot lighter than neoprene, folds smaller, and lies flat under flight stands with no rubber backing to bow or curl
• Matte, non-reflective finish. No glare under overhead lights
