@modeldadeeee just a suggestion Benjamin, perhaps try local plastic fabricators to custom make wall display cases for you? Advantages include no internal partitions for variable sizes, dustproof, easy to attach and remove should the need ever arise, most importantly you have them made to the exact size of your wall space.

I use Carney Plastics wall displays with no partitions for different length models. They've worked out great. I'm getting ready to order a couple more. We'll made and reasonably priced. Plus they're right here in Ohio, so I get them fairly quick.😊

@geno I have some Carney plastic cases as well Geno. They are about a 1 hour drive from me and I have driven there twice to pickup 1:18 wall cases. They make really great cases.

@geno all of the ones I have are from there, but shipping isn't their strong suit. My last two took over two weeks to arrive to NJ. I get it small company so there's that, I just need to find one more local to me.

@modeldadeeee Makes sense, they are local for me. I've always gotten mine in a couple of days.😊

@geno it's funny as I waited two weeks for one. The day it arrived, it was broken. Didn't want to wait another two weeks so purchased individual 1/24 cases...

@modeldadeeee That sucks. I've never received a damaged one from them. I wonder if it got damaged during the shipping process? Some, but not all, individuals will handle you items with care......sadly.
