Ben, standardised packaging - I am sure Minichamps use the same size ...

case for their Gift Sets containing at least two models.

I thought these larger boxes for for their more detailed "high end" resin...

models, but I have seen no real documentation about it...

Yes sir...that Rollston is also on my list....now more than ever due to your fabulous pics!

See what happens?

I bought the Duesenberg because it is a boattail, but now it will branch out into another genre of collecting!

Damn, this always happens!

I think Chris Sweetman is correct...they have a one-and-done standard clear display they use.

All their Mullin Collection and GM Motorama cars came in these larger boxes, plus a number of German cars, Bentley, Lancia etc.

Here's use for a two-car set:

Ben, at the weekend I will take a snap of the Minichamps Gift Set box ….

I have along with a Minichamps box housing on elf their resin models.

Then we will see for sure if they are the same size.
