If the tradestand display was a diorama style set-up in a perspex case,
then you're probably thinking of the stuff by Mainly Military/MBG - a
range
that's recently changed hands, having been in production for a LONG time
(since the late 70s, IIRC) - but they are still very nice pieces and
very
usable.
