I am close to buying my first display cabinet.
Shelf size will be one meter wide, 40cm deep. There will be six shelves with 35cm between them.
Not sure if the distance between shelves is enough (or too much) for (mostly) 1/72 scale planes.
Any thoughts?

Those sizes give you tons of room to display even the Corgi heavies on their stands. It should also give you space to add shelves once you see the models on display.

Looks like you are OK on room. One thing I do to get more planes on my shelves is to vary my display modes. To do this I deliberately display a number of Corgi, Dragon and other models wheels- down. These are then intermixed with models in the wheels-up mode to create a layering effect. Result: I've got many more planes on display per shelf, yet almost all are clearly visible.

Nice deep shelves, should make for a great display.

you can NEVER have too much room. If you're like me, you WILL find ways to fill them.
