Thanks to a heads up from Barry I saw this ex-display unit (from a chemist shop, used to display perfumes and stuff) advertised on adverts.ie and I got it to 150 Euro which I think was pretty good! (Given how much these things cost new). Went down to Gowran to collect it on Sunday. I think I'll get a second glass shelf cut for it (plenty of room) and the plan is to have somewhere for the larger kits in my stash to be displayed (eg. I have a B-58 and C-47 in 1/48 which I'm keen to build but had nowhere to put, no excuses now!)![]()

Sure what does it matter what price the ones in kilkenny are? Ronan is happy with his cabinet and a sweet cabinet it is I must say Just my three cents |

Probably the same one: Gowran is just outside Kilkenny city. Very nice Ronan, now get it filled! |

That's a very nice piece of furniture. Good idea to keep an eye out for former shop fittings like this. Philip |

You could well be right, it was just short of Kilkenny where I got it. Definitely needs more models in it, I'll get right on it! (Working on my A-10 at the moment!) |

Thanks! It's a bit rough around the edges, (I built it nearly 30 years ago!) but it is a big model. I heard Tan Model may be doing a new tool 1/48 SR-71 and if so then it would be very high on my wishlist! |
