HOW ABOUT DIMENSIONS IN INCHES PLEASE???????
a 700 scale ship they say, okay...doesnt look like it will take an ESSEX or SARATOGA carrier???
Also they say 350th scale....mmmmmm..... 350 scale PT boats?? I wish there was some way of contacting Trumpy and asking them for LOOOOOOOOOONG display cases !!!!!!

I agree - their mktg of such items could be much better.
For example, they are missing out on an opportunity where theey could push their own kits, e.g. they could specifically mention that case no ****** is suitable for their 1/350 HMS-Whatever........
I have yet to find a case which can accommodate their 1/350 Hood!

Sizes woyld be helpful. I doubt seriously if any could accomadate a 350 scale larger than a DD. I need one for my 350 Nimitz about a meter long

Looks like the 9801 will just barely make the grade....will accomodate the long Saratoga and ESSEX hulls, and just wide enough for the antennae extensions and maybe angled deck conversion, and height, well, I would measure your base to top mast if you are doing a full hull with finial mountings...waterline looks okay.
So that is very doable, however if ya wann do a 2 ship carrier dio dont think so.
They are missing the mark with large 350th scale options for sure. I have no connections with Trumpy, but if somebody out there could send them a note about potential sales for at least CRUISER size 350th, begging for bigger maybe.
Comments anyone??
