The case is 3/16 plexiglass.
It cost $475
I know that is a lot but glass costs money too.
And the glass can break.
My experience with making the model RC is that after you do all that work you take it out to a pond a couple times and it can get banged up too.
Then you get tired of it, and all that money that went into the RC could have been spent on a nice case.
Because the model needs a case or it will get covered in dust and it can get damaged with out a protective case.
Usually RC models are not as detailed as a display model for that very reason.
Trips in a vehicle, getting wet etc.,.
The model really needs epoxy and cloth on the outside of the hull if it is going into the water.
It is going to be interesting when all of these 1:200 scale models that are now coming on the market need a case to put them in.
