Displaying Corgi 1/72 Lancaster advice/ideas

I collect Corgi Aviation Archive aircraft of my favourite aircraft, and like to have them out on display to cast an eye over from time to time, and “enjoy” them for want of a better word.
I have just recieved my latest 1/72 Lancaster with its Tallboy hanging in its bomb-bay…..However like my other models Id like to display it, but with some form of protection/cover……..What can you learned chaps recommend for displaying the lanc in all its glory, I did think of a clear display case but cant seem to find one big enough……the model has a W/S of 450mm….;)

Nice to see some one collect diecast, do happen to have any military aircraft that’s diecast?

I have about 145 or so of different sizes and scales. I have a nice large display cabinet from Homebase, Ikea do a good range, getting them behind glass is an idea as the dust will soon build and one day something will go “ping” when you are dusting it off.

I have the Grand Slam Lanc and its in a cabinet, with a mirror underneath it so you can see the bomb (along side F-102 and F-106 with the missiles hanging out of the weapons bay)

size wise, my largest is a stupid 1/48th B-24 purchased on impulse, and regretted ever since……. it sits on top with smaller but equally silly 1/48th B-25 and B-26 !

Efiste2,

I quite like the glass cabinets here or that type of thing – lighted versions.

Worst thing is room …. I have around 150 odd models and I doubt some will ever see the light of day on display. The B52 nice but big!

I like the 1/72 Lancs, Stirlings and Halifax but have the same issues of space.

Btw – nice Stirlings going cheap in modelzone…
