Hello,
Does anybody know the dimensions of the completed model with the tyres fitted including the height of the model as I am looking for a display case now we are getting near the end of the build.
Thanks

I don't know whether you already have a case in mind, but I'm planning on getting this one for my MP4-23, and I imagine it would also do nicely for the MP4-4, which I'll be getting going on shortly:-  http://www.acrylicdisplaycases.co.uk/DEAG01.html

Hi
I have been looking at that one too but unfortunately its a really tight fit width wise so I will have to get them to make a larger one.

Why don't you just get the case that was made for it? It even has Senna's signature embossed on it.

DeAgostini made one just for the MP4/4, it is available from Japan. I bought one and I have my 1/12 MP4/4 temporarily displayed in it.

Yes, US dollars. I used a Japanese buying service so they perform the transaction from that website. Shipping was very expensive (it's a very LARGE box).

Yes, I have to admit if I had to do it over again, I probably wouldn't have bought it due to the excessive shipping costs. I should have thought about that before I bought it

I should have thought about that before I bought it It does look like a really nice case. Just a shame that DeAgostini don't seem to make them available outside Japan, when shipping costs are so high. There is clearly a demand for display cases- practically every model thread has posts enquiring about them.

Even the Pocher display case for their 1/8 Lamborghini Aventador is going for $220-$250!!
