Great find Troy - might just have to buy one! I'll measure the length of my 1/32 F-105D, as this is my longest model - see if it fits.
Cheers
Adam

Are they sealed mate or like the Ikea ones with gaps at the corners?

From what I can see, from the picture, like the Aldi ones, the only gaps are around the doors, which is to be expected. The back, top and sides are all sealed. I had a look at the Ikea ones on Friday night and was not impressed. The Aldi ones are far superior.
I got the quote back and shipping to Melb. comes in at $99.00
On a side note, I just picked up from the glass company three doors down from my work, four shelves cut to size for my existing Aldi cabinets, for $142. Makes me scratch my head how Aldi can sell a full cabinet for $100, yet I cant find a way to get four shelves cut to size for less than $142. Not complaining though, this will increase my current display capacity by 50% without increasing the floor space used, and I will likely get four more next pay for the second cabinet.

Thanks Ray, I agree. The two new Mirages will go with the Other Mirage and the Phantom. I'll likely move a few things around yet. Maybe earliest to latest, top to bottom. Or fighters, bombers and transport. Looking at the large space above the cabinet, I'm thinking a 1/144 Wedgetail may need to be hung from the ceiling to provide AWAC cover.

I was quickly running out of space, so I ordered a new cabinet, which arrived today and assembly is now complete. I've ordered some more LED's for lighting it up, but they will take a few weeks to get here. Local prices are too crazy.

Now I have the space to start on the Beaufighter, Spartan and some other kits I had no room for. Maybe a Wedgetail or a Globemaster III will find a home in there too.
Here are some of my other cabinets too. These ones from Ikea.


The Armour cabinet.


The Scifi Cabinet.
