Display cabinets

[SiDennis]

Have been looking online to find a decent display cabinet for my new man cave when I move.
I can't seem to find anything that is deep enough to take 1/48 scale aircraft.
Could anyone suggest a website or retailer, what do you guys use to display your models?

Cheers

I have two ikea display cabinets, at 40 quid they are the cheapest I have found. They are also really good, with three shelves of a decent size, two 1/48 ww2 planes no sweat. Probably only one big jet tho.
Nice quality and the option to light them if you want.

Hope this helps.

Yup the IKEA ones are what I would have suggested. That or Argos used to do a similar thing, but its possibly more expensive.

IKEA haven't got any in stock any where in the UK at the moment, I think they maybe discontinued!

My wife is buying me one of these for christmas, and at £160 I think it's worth every penny.....

Cheers Lee, will have to start saving the pennies. Will still keep an eye on ikea just incase they decide to role them out again.

Still have the shelves at the Tampa fl store. I have four of them, it it looked like the one Lee is getting had a lot more shelves and better lighting

You get what you pay for

Not a display cabinet as such, but spent this morning putting up shelves.

Ikea's DETOLF is what I use (and everyone else it seems), I can easily fit 4 large 1/35 tanks on each level. It keeps out the dust and has a magnetic swing-door at the front. You can also buy a light specifically for it that goes in the top, as you can see in the left photo. $80 CAN (actually on sale right now...running out space in my first one...

Anyone bought ex-shop display cabinets from Ebay? In theory they should do the job without having to spend a fortune

I got mine from Argos, it was about £119 and has seven glass shelves and a single light up top.
