I am looking to purchase a cheap 1:43 model car display case. I have looked on EBAY, they look like crap and I am searched GOOGLE and I don't want one with a wooden base.

I am looking for one that Paul's Model Art model cars come with. Also hardly anyone sells single 1:43 display cases.

 

There are a couple of hobby shops here in KY. I'll check this weekend and see what they have. The larger ones I've seen or bought for my sons 1:24 scale NASCAR collectibles either had a black plastice, clear or mirrored bottom. Do you havea preference? I'll also check and see if they ship.

 

I called a local place and they didn't have any, said they could order one but that could cost a pretty penny even though it is a small case.

Yeah all I can find usually online is 1/24, 1/18, etc... Can hardly find single 1:43 cases and the ones I did find aren't that nice IMO.

I would prefer a plain black base and clear top.

 

See if Tamiya sells these in the U.S:

Sadly, Tamiya products are priced about 3 times more overseas than in its homeland[8D].

Wait, they do have U.S web page:

The one with Enzo is $160 but is big. Ones for 1/24 should be about $20-$30.

Thanks, but I need one that fits a 1:43 and a 1:24 is too big.

 

I'll see what I can find tomorrow and let you know.

 

thanks

 

flipping through last week's Old Cars Weekly I ran across an ad for 1:43 scale car models, they're at www.miniauto.com and I saw they also carry Paul's Model Art cars, so maybe they can help you with the display cases you need.

 

Yeah I was out bidded on the item. So no need for it now.

Thanks guys.
