I've got several 1:18 Spark models. These come with a base/plinth which is 17cm wide. However, most of the 1:18 display cases I have seen are only 13cm wide.

Are there any 1:18 display cases which would fit the 1:18 Spark model + plinth?

I'm aware of this:

but being in US the chances of being damaged in transit, or the cost of delivery and customs would start to add up.

Trumpeter make on that has the depth you need not sure if the length and height are correct.

I've just had some made to measure cases by: https://inperspextive.com/

A good product at a reasonable price and a super fast service - I have no connection to the seller.

OP, which case did you get in the end? I'm considering getting one from the US supplier mentioned here, as custom made seems more expensive still...

There's lots of choice on Toms.nl website in 1:18 scale. I've ordered from there and the service was great, even if the ordering process is a bit odd (you wait for an email link to pay by card - weird).
