FedEx And UAL coming my way! I'm also tempted by a few others, but my wallet does have limits!

jetbluefan · 10-03-2012, 06:38 PM

I am liking a lot of these. Delta, Eastern, FedEx, United, and Southwest are great in my book. Interesting AN-124.

Todd Michaels · 10-03-2012, 06:52 PM

Some nice releases!

shandaken · 10-03-2012, 06:53 PM

WTF? Another 737-800 from Southwest?

Yes, at least it has a different reg! This time it's N8302J and not N8301J which was the first release..

NW332Lover · 10-03-2012, 07:31 PM

Yippeee!!! Cubana and Aeromexico are mine mine mine!!!!! wooooo!!

airport1-600 · 10-03-2012, 07:35 PM

My wallet is safe this month...Although that 96 is kind of cool.

Gunship01 · 10-03-2012, 08:19 PM

United 787 only. Need to save for PHX's next round.

flyAmerican · 10-03-2012, 10:52 PM

Cubana IL96, United 787, and maybe Southwest 738 coming into my airport!

Ditto on this. The number of Gemini releases I order usually depends on how many Phoenix models I order.

That said, the Delta A330 and UA 787 are tempting. Maybe the Southwest, though I already have the other 738.

owenma · 10-04-2012, 12:20 AM

is delta a332 in new mould?

MD11Freighter · 10-04-2012, 12:22 AM

I like the FedEx ATR-42

N787BA · 10-04-2012, 12:57 AM

United 787 for me, as said before.

aklein707 · 10-04-2012, 12:58 AM

United 787 very tempting; I do like that wavy variation to the color scheme!!

Pacific_Blue · 10-04-2012, 03:09 AM

Wow! Month after month Gemini has been pushing my budget like it hasn't in years! The FedEx is a must and the United, Delta and AeroMexico are pushing the boundaries of my collecting criteria! I might just have to loosen up a bit, even if I can't really afford it! Oh man...good thing work is giving me some extra hours this month!

AeroFighter · 10-04-2012, 03:34 AM

Delta A332 and United 787 for me, been waiting for them for a while.

Adrian · 10-04-2012, 03:47 AM

Is the Cubana IL-96 the same mould that Phoenix uses?
Can't see why an Eastern DC-3 has been done, as already done by Aeroclassics?

Yes, Cubana is the Phoenix mould. It would seem GJ & PH still talk to each other. Also with the British Airways World Cargo 747-8f I believe.

The GJ/JC DC-3 is better than the AC one perhaps? It doesn't look quite so much like a C-46!

ChangiSpotter · 10-04-2012, 05:18 AM

Will be getting the Southwest...

You're correct here Ty-114, it's PHX's mould and i am glad we see mould sharing to get more variety - like the regional mould share with JC!

Would love to have that EuroLOT Q400 1:200 that has been released this month in 1:400 as well!! Any LO model would be welcomed like a n/c B734 e.g.!

Can't help myself with the UA Dreamliner - it looks like a joke to me that this is supposed to represent United Airlines - an airline with liveries like the Saul Bass or the Battleship scheme in its history..

It's supposed to represent United and Continental, the airlines merged, United did not put them out of business at the end of the day. I like it personally and no doubt a whole new United livery will appear some day.

Are you kidding me? CO's so-called 'air operator certificate' ceased to exist on the 3rd of March 2012!

United gets FAA single operating certificate | Reuters

They are alive just like Northwest is alive in Delta! It is so uninspired to adopt CO's livery and put UA's name on it, but i won't argue with you on personal taste..

The statement that CO is still in business is bull*hit..

I made no statement suggesting 'Continental' is still in business. My point being that the livery reflects aspects of two merged airlines. Your technical point is correct however, but United did not buy Continental and impose their own livery over Co's. British Airways (for example) have purchased Bmi and are eradicating their name and livery completely in a purchase takeover. What happened here was not the same thing...

KLM B747-400F · 10-04-2012, 01:39 PM

Nice releases this month..

Monte · 10-04-2012, 02:08 PM

Nothing really excites me here, I will add the UA/CO to my UA/CO fleet although since its the real deal this go around.

BuhZilly · 10-04-2012, 02:21 PM

UA 787 for me.

aaflyer · 10-04-2012, 05:08 PM

Great month for me! UA 787, DL A330, and SW 737 are must haves for my airport!

I would buy a LO 734 n/c in a heartbeat! Don't forget the EuroLOT ATRs.. I am sure that we'll most likely see the B788 in LO's new colors from GJ next as LO is the European launch customer for the Dreamliner.. Nothing for me this month..

LACA773 · 10-05-2012, 04:36 AM

Aero Mexico 76W for me, possibly Delta A332.
Many of us have been waiting for new AM models for quite sometime. I hope a some point we'll see them also do the 76W in the bare metal finish.

Thanks Gemini for coming out with the Aero Mexico Models. Bare metal versions are still highly sought for the 76W, 762ER and the 73G.

Mystère · 10-05-2012, 01:26 PM

Hmm, Cubana Il-96. I like it.

Agreed I think I may get that one too. I second thoughts on the EA DC-3 though. AC's versions are great already and there are lots of US DC-3s that still need to be done like North Central, Lake Central, Continental, Northwest, Ozark, West Coast, Southwest / Pacific, All American, Allegheny, Mid Continent etc etc etc etc all of which are a higher priority imho

Starpole · 10-06-2012, 03:50 AM

UA 787 for me !

Countless number of DC-3s are still to be done, from everywhere on earth. Still we only have a handful of them. Both AC and JC/GJ could release one every month, that would insure many years of interesting subjects.

Like stated above, Herpa also has an excellent DC-3 mould as well!

Not American Airlines - I already have one of their Daks in 1:400. All American Airways - the original name for Allegheny Airlines which itself became USAir in 1979.

as you can see here ... the logo/cheatlines are forest green

QFA388 · 10-07-2012, 12:20 AM

Cubana and Delta A332 for me.

What's the general conscensus on the GJ DC-3 ? I only have one example, the retro KLM one and compared to the AC mould the nose section looks all wrong. Thoughts ?

Alaska Fan · 10-07-2012, 10:46 AM

the AeroClassics DC-3 is less than accurate ... although it is still a nice model
