Blow the cobwebs off of the GJ 1/250 scale molds! I am a fan of the scale, and I think many others out there are, too. Uh...Anyone care to back a brother up??!!

I'll back you up!

IMO, I think 1/250 is the perfect display scale. I have just about all of the GJ releases. I do hope GJ continues with this line.

I too am a huge fan of GJ 1/250's... I'm not so crazy about the DC-3 line-up, but the rest of them kick-butt! While we're on the subject, anyone out there know of a GJ 1/250 Delta DC-8-61 for sale??? I've been on the hunt for one for quite some time, otherwise I've got 'em all.

Great news too that several more new liveries will be released next month, I'de all but givin' up on the line. Thanks crownvic for the insight!

Ok..I have a question for you, Crownvic! If GJ will not create new moulds for other airframes in 1/250 scale, is there a possibility to 'modify' an existing MD-80 series mould to the Boeing 717? I'd love to see a Hawaiian Airlines 717 in 1/250! (hint-hint!)

anytime you modify a mould for anything its gonna cost you $5000.00 to make a tweak here and there...To convert to 717 would be a huge cost....probably have to start over....

Count me in!

I've got a fairly large collection of Aero Mini's and other scales just seem too small to display near them.

The GJ's and even the 1/200's offered by others in metal all seem to work well.

My heart belongs to the Aero Mini's, but todays GJ's are incredibly put together and beautifully designed.

Keep them coming.

I do agree that the DC-3's while nice, are just not my favorites.

A Hawaiian MD-80, Air Cal and Frontier will do me fine!

Post some pics of yours, jjorgemiami! The DC-3 is an elegant bird and quite nice in 1/250.

Say, I wonder if GJ would be inclined to release some more of the DC-3 moulds in a military variant such as the C-47 in D-Day invasion colors!!! That would be cool!
