GJ250 Wish List

ba43 · 04-21-2005, 09:31 AM

I love this line of diecast aircraft and am excited about it's future. So far we've seen the following from Gemini Jets in 1/250 scale:

Douglas DC-8-61: Delta
Douglas DC-6-61: United
Douglas DC-8-50: AeroMexico
Douglas DC-8-51: United (Freighter)

McDonnell Douglas MD-83: Alaska
McDonnell Douglas MD-88: Delta (Wavy Gravy)

Boeing 737-800: American
Boeing 737-800: Continental
Boeing 737-800: Delta

That's six different aircraft model types of the nine GJ250's that are out already and the two that are coming in May.

My question for you is which other aircraft model types, besides these, do you think that Gemini Jets should create in this scale?

You get five choices and it's just for the model types, not the airline, livery, etc. Let's leave that for another topic.

Keep them in the modern jet era from the 60's until now.

Here's my choices.

1. Boeing 747-400
2. Boeing 757-200
3. Bombardier CRJ
4. Airbus A320
5. Boeing 727-200

Thanks and hopefully, Gemini Jets will read up on this and maybe get an idea of what we would like to see in our collections from them.

we need a 707, maybe american, TWA, Pan Am, Lufthansa....
and a DC10 or MD11
and a 737-200

jjorgemiami · 04-21-2005, 01:09 PM

I think they would do well, and pull in a new audiance if they were to start a line of Russian airliners, i.e. IL-62, TU-134, IL-86, IL-96, YAK-42 and so on.

Galapagapop · 04-21-2005, 03:53 PM

AA Md-83! Maybe a white ex-renoair would also be nice

Co Md-83 would be nice along with some TWA MD-83's!!!!

I think these would be hot!

ba43 · 04-21-2005, 04:06 PM

I'm just asking for aircraft types in this topic. We can get into airlines and liveries next time.

JayBird · 04-21-2005, 06:15 PM

BAC 1-11
FH-227
CV-580
DC-9-30
Twin Otter!

LAX1983 · 04-21-2005, 06:22 PM

I would like to see the following....

MD-87
MD-90
727-200
757-200
767-200
A320
DC-9/30/40/50

airsquad9 · 04-21-2005, 07:15 PM

I know we have the 737-800's started, but let's add some winglets to them and really make them look good.

Mickey

Mertzen · 04-21-2005, 10:26 PM

L1011 for sure .. and 340-600 and indeed a 737 with winglets

RC135U · 04-23-2005, 03:35 PM

VC10
CV880
CV990
707
Electra II

JayBird · 04-23-2005, 03:37 PM

umm .. how about .. everything?
can GJ just release everything?
cuz u KNOW we want it!
;-)

TWALOVER · 04-23-2005, 08:57 PM

I wish GJ would stop making models in the 250 scale!

ba43 · 04-23-2005, 09:30 PM

I could care less what you think TWA'hole!!!!!!!!!!!

Now you go back to your little cave where you dwell, take that big, stiff, 1:200 scale 747 that you love so much and... well... you know what to do with it.

We have a forum here where we can enjoy this scale. Isn't that what you wanted before? You were so adamant about how we don't belong in the other forum, etc. Now we're gone and you have to troll over here and talk trash on something that doesn't concern your attention. Your showing up here only reaffirms my belief that you can't be any older than about 16 because that's how old you act.

Buh Bye

TWALOVER · 04-23-2005, 09:35 PM

Blablabla... and stay out our 200 scale forum!!!

gottols · 04-23-2005, 09:38 PM

gottols · 04-24-2005, 07:14 AM

Do you think we'll see the RyanAir b737-800 or maybe this will be made exclusively for the Aviaion Retail Direct in UK ?!?

wlbiii · 04-24-2005, 03:14 PM

In response to ba43's original question, one would think that to keep in the spirit of the original Aero Minis that jets of the 50's through 70's be introduced. My choices would be:
1. Caravelle
2. Comet
3. Convair 880
4. 727-200
5. L1011

RutleFan · 04-25-2005, 09:54 PM

L-1011/DC-10/727-200 first, MD-11/727-100 later.

Flying Ace · 04-28-2005, 10:19 PM

You know what I would really like to see...that has never been done before?

How about a pictoral essay about how one of these diecast models are actually produced from start to finish. I am really curious about what the moulds look like, what the castings are like when they come out unassembled, when they are put together, and the finally the finished product.

IS anyone else interested in seeing the birth of a model, and would any harm be done for a manufacturer like Gemini to show collectors how the intricacies how they are made? I think it would be fascinating and something different than the typical posts here.

jblu320-200 · 04-29-2005, 04:27 PM

-Jet Blue A320
-Delta CRJ
-Independence Air CRJ
-American Eagle ERJ
-Contiental Express ERJ
-Contiental 767-400
I'd also like these in 1:400!!!

psalover · 04-30-2005, 11:39 PM

I got one!!!!What about a C-5 Galaxy in 1/250

Yes,I said C-5!!!Wouldn't that be an awsome 1/250???

Yes i agree with you there!! I collect 1:500 models so don't start having a go but it would be fascinating to find out!!

Flying Ace · 05-09-2005, 02:21 PM

Kind of hard to predict...but I hope we see things in the GJ 250 range that is not seen in the 200 scale...or sorely lacking. For instance, Since there are airframes as the caravelle now in 200 scale, I don't think I would be so inclined to reinvest it in G250. And although I like the VC10 very much, there are examples of this aircraft from both Inflight LE and Aero mini.

I do think Gemini is on the right track like it was about 2000, producing a blend of classic and contemporary airframes, which it later got away from in its 400 offerings but is now starting to do again a bit..

Since this is a new scale, they would probably serve their interest well by having offerings that are popular but not too mainstream. Certain regional aircraft have been long needed and would probably spark interest. There is the need for a very good L-1011 mould, which would get alot of mileage in terms of schemes. With Inflight getting set to develop the Dc-10 mould this year, don't know about that one right away, as in similar situations with the 747 and 727 families.

Russell Epstein, once advised me to just just enjoy collecting and to not worry about the political stuff so much. Well, I've been trying to refine multiple collections and make sense out of everything...to tie it all in together and just enjoy it all...Let the manufaturers try to figure out what we're going to want!

dboyd001 · 05-30-2005, 03:41 PM

Here's some for thought (some have nor yet been made in any scale):
SAAB 340
Douglas DC-2, DC-3/C-47, DC-4/C-54
Fokker F-28, F-28-100, F-27
DeHavilland DHC-7, DHC-8, DH.104 Dove
Boeing 314, 307, 377, B-17
Short Sunderland
Focke Wulfe Condor (airliner/recon-bomber)
Consolidated C-46 Commando
Avro Canada C-102 (too obscure?)
Hawker Siddeley Trident
Junkers JU-52
Tupolev TU-104/TU-16, TU-144
Vickers Viscount
Something to think about?
