It's almost identical to the one I got in Halfords, for £20.00.

I've got one for my toy car & plane transmitters. Really sturdy stuff that box.

.......but beware some cheapo plastic foam inserts which "sweat" oily liquids that can vaporise and end up all over your precious optics! With time and light, this hardens to something like a thin film of brown gunge - not what you want at all.

Instrument Quality foam is normally used for microscopes and other similar bits of optical kit - places like Jessops used to sell it (when they were still photographic suppliers).

I got one of these yesterday from Maplin ... all the foam is pre-cut into little squares so its just a matter of pulling out bits to fit your various ep's and filters

How much for the maplin ones?

[Tink_Archived]

Mine was £19.99 but they do larger cases in the same style as I got .. think it was £24.99 but could have been £29.99

They also have the aluminium flight cases in
