Sadly I have neither a router nor woodworking skills - that is very impressive, though. Interesting to see what other people put in their cases - I like the Allis Chalmers models, and I think Camwader might get excited if I said that last summer I had just popped out for some cow juice and a car went by bearing a numberplate that read "1 JYS", with the BRDC logo. It wasn't the man himself driving, mind. I think I'm going to use Pythagoras, and go for fitting the box in stood up, and diagonally across - that should do the job.

Sorry, everyone, for one reason and another I've not given this the attention that it deserves! Roland's case looks perfect but, as Nigel says, I've just measured the box and it's half a centipede too wide to fit! There is a wider option, but it's exactly the size I make the box, and "last chance to buy" - if I buy, and it won't fit... *much cursing* Any chance you could confirm the internal width, please? If it is 38cm as advertised, sadly, I am out as otherwise it would have been perfect for other stuff as well. If that's the case I'll investigate the other suggestions. Adrian

Thank you gentlemen, plenty to investigate there. I will try to sort in under 8 years and let you know how I get on! Going off-radar for a few days, so I'm not ignoring you, just low on connectivity... Adrian

OK, so it's not really diorama, but I'm blowed if I can see anywhere more fitting. Perhaps if I'm in the wrong place a kind admin could move it for me? I'm getting near to finishing the 1/72 Revell Dambusters Lancaster - I see from my last visit here that it's taken me over 8 years, I blame a housemove! I'd like to put it in a case with its box - not really case quality, but it's the best I can do, and the box (please note - opened before it was signed) is signed by Les Munro, Marie Stopes-Wallis, Maud Stevens and Johnny Johnson. So... Where do I find a case without breaking the bank, or where do I find hints on how to make one (oh no, another rabbit hole!), please? Adrian P.S. Revell paints... bloomin' thick for brush application, aren't they? Or is it just that they are eight years old?

Cancel that request - Kitworld do them in 1/72. Now, the $64,000 question. How come I found it now with one quick Google, but couldn't find anything even vaguely close in January? Anyway, back to normal service - having seen the finished article's thread, I'm mightily impressed and it seems that Les Munro was too. If I wanted a critical opinion, that would be good enough for me! Adrian

Hello WRCfan, very impressive! I have the 1/72 Revell model, which I was planning to finish as Les Munro's aircraft, having had him sign the box (I should point out that the box was open and the model started when the opportunity arose!) - could you share where you got your decals from, please? Hopefully they also do 1/72 versions! Many thanks, Adrian
