It’s taken a while since the move six months ago from VA to FL but I bought some extra shelves for these three display cases and finished arranging them today.  The sizes range from 1/144 to 1/16.

Thanks.  Yes the MPC J-Car and on the top shelf left case is also an IMC J-car but it’s hard to see in the picture.

I've got a MPC J-Car and an IMC GT40 both waiting to be built .  It's been many years but I remember the IMC J-Car being much better , is that right ?  Been looking for one and may get the one on ebay right now .

Yes the MPC kit goes together very well compared to IMC version.  The J-Car has a lot of parts in common with the MKIV.

These three kits ( the MKII and roadster are Lemans Miniatures) are hard to see in the first photo of the display.  I wonder why?

Oh my !  What a great collection ! Do I spy a little garage diorama with a replica of your real Mustang ? I would love to see better pics of it if you ever get a chance.

1/16 scale models I built (66 Mustang, 67 Mustang and 68 Shelby) the MadMax Mustang plus some diecast and a slot car mixed in.

OK I am thoroughly impressed Rex.  Thank you for sharing them with us.

Thanks Gary.  A oldie but good won a 3rd place today at an IMPS show.  I probably built that kit 30 years ago or more.

The gentleman that runs the show said it was of the worst kits ever made and was therefore impressed I built one that actually fits together pretty good.  For a 55 year old kit I think it was way ahead of its time.

Congratulations on your IPMS placing Rex.  I agree with you that the kit was ahead of its time.

Congrats on the Ford GT40 win Rex! And I really like those display cases too. Can I ask where you picked them up from? I'm starting to run out of shelf space and am looking for something just like those.

TIA.

Thanks.  They are IKEA detolf display cases and I bought extra shelves on Etsy.
