Reviews : Trumpeter 1/18 Car & 1/35 Military & 1/350 Submarine Display

According to Popular Science Magazine, sixty tons of cosmic dust falls on our planet every day. Up until discovering the inexpensive plastic model cases, I believe my models attracted an inordinate amount of cosmic dust or else I should have known better than to finish drywall in the same room as my displays. Regardless, once that new finish is hidden by dust, you can never restore that new look again. Aside from that, you run the risk of knocking off small parts, scratching the paint and packing the dust in cracks and crevices you worked so hard to include for realism. The 1/18 Car & 1/35 Military & 1/350 Submarine display cases I'm reviewing here, for my purposes, usually allow me to include two cars at an angle, which is perfect for stock cars sliding through a turn in the accompanying diorama. While the plastic model display cases attract dust, are easily scratched themselves, they also offer an opportunity to be more creative with your models by building small dioramas inside to go with the model displayed. Since I build a lot of historic stock cars, I'm able to recreate many different track conditions -- asphalt, Daytona sand and muddy, dusty dirt tracks. Most of the cases come with some stock backgrounds; however, I often create my own backgrounds using track photos and PhotoShop. As they say, you are only limited by your imagination and your models are protected from all the cosmic dust threatening them!

These display cases are perfect for keeping your builds clean and safe. I have a wood stove as well as two dogs. The dust and dirt build up on my builds is hard to get rid of once it's on there. This eliminates that. They are not too expensive and give you a 360-degree view of your build. I added a strip of double-sided tape to the bottom of each track to keep the finished build from sliding around inside when I need to move the case around. I highly recommend these for your kits. They easily stack on top of each other and prevent damage to your builds.

This is a great display case, like the 9813 that I also own. However, the 1/18 Shelby Cobra Mk III I wanted to fit inside, didn't have the space I needed. I wanted the hood ,trunk and doors to be open. Could not get the hood to open in the short roof height of this display case. Fine quality would have worked, if I didn't want the display as mentioned. Would fit any 1/18! Replaced with #9813. Glad I found HobbyLinc, fantastic product line and easy to work with.

I use these for 1/25, 1/24 and off-scale builds that don't fit in the standard 1/24-1/25scale display cases. Also useful for displaying two or three related kits, not just for the advertised scales!

Nice case,great price,work well for 1/72 scale die cast modern military jets....

These are quality display cases highly recommend. Will buy more as needed
