Re: Paging Gemini Jets! Southwest's Colorado One
This would not make a bad model.
I would rather see them do a Mustard livery with winglets, but doubt that will happen.

Re: Paging Gemini Jets! Southwest's Colorado One
I wonder why GJ hasn't released the Mustard Rocket with winglets. That would be a no-brainer.

Re: Paging Gemini Jets! Southwest's Colorado One
Because, with the extremely depressed market in the US, nobody would buy it.

Re: Paging Gemini Jets! Southwest's Colorado One
It was strange how they stopped doing them.
They haven't done this one either

Re: Paging Gemini Jets! Southwest's Colorado One
I think Colorado's jet is ugly but I'd buy anything Southwest! I sure wish they'd do Florida One in 1/400 too!

Re: Paging Gemini Jets! Southwest's Colorado One
I actually quite like the Colorado jet. I might dip into my reserves for that one, although right now I'm working out how I can buy the WN 738, the UA 752 and the AS CRJ...so Gemini can wait on this a bit as far as I am concerned.  Lots of great releases lately!

Sounds like we need another stimulus sale.

I am biased, but how can you say this is ugly. I think this is perhaps the nicest state plane in the fleet. Most of the others are so busy they don't look like airplanes, they look like billboards. I can't wait for someone to release this is 200 and 400.

Re: Paging Gemini Jets! Southwest's Colorado One
I wouldn't get it. Seems like there's a lot more demand for the regular liveries than the special ones, with WN.

I'd put it in my collection. While I know its a Colorado tribute plane I always go "oh hey, a Cubs logo jet" before I start to think about it.

Re: Paging Gemini Jets! Southwest's Colorado One
I saw this 1:1 aircraft on Friday in Milwaukee. I didn't know what it was at first. It is
a beautiful paint job.

Re: Paging Gemini Jets! Southwest's Colorado One
I'd buy Florida One in a heartbeat...even though this is the 1:400 section, I think a Southwest 737-800 1:200 would sell like hotcakes!

Then how does one explain the TWO WN 737-800s released mere months apart?
Corporate market drives a lot of these releases. Perhaps the folks down in Dallas just haven't asked for one yet.
Meanwhile, I'm waiting for them to ask for Illinois One in 1/200.

Re: Paging Gemini Jets! Southwest's Colorado One
I would pick one up in1/400 scale and I wish they would do the Arizona, Florida and Texas as well...I know Herpa did Texas but I think Gemini is better.

Re: Paging Gemini Jets! Southwest's Colorado One
I'll pass on this one, Not a very clever livery. Just a massive C on the nose.
