This acrylic wall display case has been designed to display and protect five of the larger modern 1:18 scale model F1 cars. Please check the dimensions of the display case below, and check the sizes of your cars to make sure they fit ok, the older styles of smaller 1:18 scale F1 cars will obviously fit, but we do have a smaller four shelf wall display case designed that will fit them, which may be more suitable, it is your choice.
Display Case Design
The back panel is fixed to the wall using our stainless steel supports, which when fitted leave no sign of the screw head. The shelf brackets and shelves are then slotted into it, please watch the video below to see how easily it all goes together.
The front cover is easily removable and hooks into the slots on the back panel, which makes it very easy to remove when you want to remove it, but still secure enough not to be knocked off. To remove the front cover you just push it up and then lift it away.
The Removable Cover
The acrylic display cover is fabricated from 3mm thick acrylic and supplied as a single piece, so there is no self assembly required. We have fabricated it from three pieces of acrylic, the front, left and right sides are made from one piece with 2 bends in the acrylic to form the three vertical faces, the top and bottom are then solvent welded onto it, finally they are machined and polished to provide a smooth professional finish. The sides of the cover include laser cut hooks which hook into the slots on the back panel.
Display Case Dimensions
The distance between the shelves is 73mm and the shelves are all 350mm long and 140mm deep, the shelf brackets protrude into the shelf by 11mm on the top of the shelf and 25mm underneath the shelf.
The overall size of the display case is 370mm wide x 420mm high, including the cover and the stainless steel wall fixings, the display case is 155mm deep.

A display case focuses peoples attention, framing the displayed items, making them catch peoples attention and not allowing them to fade into the background, it makes your displayed collection look more important, cherished and valuable.
The front cover hooks into the back panel, so it is very easy to just lift off the front cover and have easy access to access your collection.
As the shelves and cover are all made from clear acrylic there is no need of internal lighting to view your collection.
