That makes two full cabinets but I may have to cap a max at three (definitely costly to load it to the max with glass shelves, the LED lighting as well as ominous looks from my wife). Have to do it piece meal as you want to grab models when available. I think I was able to cram about 120 various models in the case with the Phantoms and hopefully I can get that many in that Tomcat cabinet. HM releasing Tomcats, Super Hornets, Vikings, etc. aren't doing me any favors either. Currently all my Blackbirds are in their respective boxes in the basement but I have to display them somewhere. I'm not the one to buy them and leave them in boxes. haha.

Word to the wise, definitely get the models you like (and maybe don't like) upfront when available at retail or on discount. Otherwise, you'll be kicking yourself later and sharing sob stories. Besides, you can come to love em later on. haha.
