one of the customer review:
I have fourteen of these, holding 1/32 scale Gearbox diecast Sopwith
Pups, and Ertl diecast planes in anything from 1/48 to 1/30 scale. What
scale model these cases will fit simply depends on the model's
dimensions. The Imex box shows the case with a yellow Ertl Northrop
Gamma model, which is 1/43 scale and pretty snug, with a 13 inch
wingspan placed corner to corner. I have the silver Texaco version of
this model in one. The position of the wings in relation to the fuselage
makes some of my model's tails a close fit as well. My collection is
all diecast models of older biplane and fixed-gear airplanes.
These
are the only affordable aircraft size cases available. Any other cases I
have found of similar size are sixty dollars and up, though those are
usually a better acrylic plastic.
That is the drawback of these
Imex cases, that they are styrene plastic and take extra care. It
scratches easily, and isn't very resistant to cracking. I use a large
sable cosmetic brush to dust them, and over time they still get a lot of
fine scratches, though not visible in normal room light. For the cost,
I'm still happy. Many of my cases are eight years old, and stll look new
in normal light.
One tip I can pass along. I put a sheet of what
is often called fun foam in the bottom, usually green to represent
grass. The models sink into this foam slightly, and that keeps them in
place nicely. This poly foam sheet is usually about 12 X 17 inches by
1/8 inch thick, in dozens of colors for about a dollar a sheet at craft
stores. I use a light blue sheet on the exposed tops of my cases, as
dust rinses off the foam in warm water. It will protect the tops of
stacked cases from marks, too.
