Looking for a Curio Cabinet Recommendation

Hi all -

I currently have a small collection of 1:72 WWII bombers:

3 B-17 Flying Fortress
2 B-24 Liberator
2 B-25 Mitchell
1 B-26 Marauder
1 TBF/M Avenger

I would like to be able to display them all in a mirrored wood/glass curio cabinet.
Can someone please recommend a good manufacturer and web-based source of supply?

Thanks!

I almost picked that one up the other day...But my wife gave me that look....
I would of added lights to it so you can see the planes better.
Looks really nice.

Re: Looking for a Curio Cabinet Recommendation

I'm not a big IKEA fan, but I've got their BILLY/BYOM bookcase in white with glass doors and shelves, and it works for me. Inexpensive, easy to assemble, simple design.

Now if I just had two of 'em...
 

Nrrrm! Whoosh! Rat-tat-tat!
--sounds of a happy diecast collector

Re: Looking for a Curio Cabinet Recommendation

The Ikea Billy's are nice but to small for the heavies, you can place a good amount of 1/72 fighters on them though. Here's an old pic from a couple of years ago of just 2 shelves in a Billy. Not familar with the Byom
