Default Dc-8 1:250

Okay guys it appears that the cat is out of the bag! Gemini will be releasing a 1:250 stretch DC-8 shortly in either Delta, JAL or Eastern hockey stick colors.. These models will have fully retractable gears and operating gear doors, and will also be tampo printed with high detail...

So for all you Aeromini collectors out there this ones for you!!!
should be here in next 45 days....

Well I give up, the project is on hold for now as it appears the factory is not cooperating. I'll bring a sample to EWR just to let
everyone know it is not a dream and that someday it will happen!

Is this deja vu or is history repeating itself? Did not one Robert Metchick have difficulty one Asian nationality in the production of his aircraft models that had retractable gear? Could this be the jinx of Asians on airplanes with retractable gear? Sorry to hear crownvic. I may decide to attend EWR, as it is a short drive and a short trip on Amtrak for me when I am in D.C. as I am learning more that this is an interesting show with other opportunities
