Default Release date for GJ 738 1/200?

Anyone know the release date? Gotta be soon if it's going to be able to fit under the tree!

It would be great if the model became available for the holidays, but I want the a/c now. All the anticipation of the new GJ's feature (features) have started making me loose sleep. I can't wait to find out what it is that these new models will feature to blow away any other 200 scale collection aircraft!!!

United battleship gray and AA bare metal. THAT would sell a lot of models for GJ in the U.S. You can count me in for 2 UA and 1 AA.

Next, please do a 762 or 763 in UA, Delta, or AA. Talk about an under-represented aircraft!

UA battleship gray fo sho! One of my all-time favorite liveries. That would be a good choice to kick-off the non-winglet models. Too bad they have PW engines, I prefer the RRs on the 75'. No biggie though, it'll be some variation from the CO and AA which I plan on getting.

So what I'm understanding is that we're skipping November for GJ 200s? If so, I am very glad... Guess I'll have to save quite a bit for Dec shopping!

I agree, the first company to do a good metal newer generation medium capacity widebody, will make a KILING!

B767-200, 767-300 and B777-200!

Any/all or those sound great to me. How about this for a 772...
