wunwinglow Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Just wondered if any of my Brit Brethren had any recommendations for glass display cases? I don't need one right now, but wondered if I had the space, I might be more inclined to finish some models! Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyT Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Tim I seem to remember on a forum somewhere someone mentioning the Ikea ones, see http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/categories/departments/dining/10410/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDave Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I have 3 I got on eBay for about 30 quid each. Search by nearest first. The ikea detolf is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick32 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I have the Ikea Detolf, good value for money and you can add extra shelves if you wish. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlow Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 As others have said, the 'Detolf' is easily available and pretty good value, especially if you double up the number of shelves. I've looked at larger cases, made for shop and exhibition display but the prices for new ones is pretty high - talking £400+. Always keep an eye out for shops closing down. I know John (Tigger) got a couple of very nice ones for an undisclosed bargain price from a closing down shop. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 The Detolf's are good ( I have 2) but they are obviously limited to smaller a/c. They won't accommodate a 1/32 P-47 which is a big plane as a guide. Lights can be easily added too. I like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I have 5 Detolfs now - as Joe has said - fine for most 1:32 WWII fighters - but too small for the Jug. I'm on the lookout for something a lot larger atm - perhaps to go down one side of one of the garages... Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geedubelyer Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Hi Tim, I don't know how useful this will be but I have a UniBox cabinet. I got it from work. United Aluminium in Manchester are the stockists. http://www.unibox.co.uk/retail-display-cabinets-showcases-counters/ I suspect they may be predominantly trade rather than retail but it could n't hurt to contact them.

Radub Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I have an Argos unit. http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/6141152.htm Iit is not wide enough to take a 1/32 He 219 though. :-( They also have a "corner unit" similar to it.
