Talking GeminiJets KLM Cargo B747-400ERF....yippie !


Wow....I am so happy to see that GeminiJets came out with this model before Dragon Wing - thank you, GJ....yippie !!!!!

Since the attached pic is that of a pre-production sample, I noticed 2 minor inaccuracies on the sample namely the tail logo is a bit too big and also too bad the sample depicts a fake reg PH-CKJ.

KLM never uses the the letter 'J' in their reg series and this letter is solely reserved for models....maybe this model was ordered internally by KLM perhaps ?

Anyways, it would be nice if the model bore a real reg namely PH-CKA "Eendracht' (Unity) or PH-CKB "Leeuwin" (Lioness)....otherwise, I am not complainig at all - just glad that GJ came out with this model first !

In the end, if anyone out there know how I can get my hands on the Long Prosper 1/250 scale and Rise Soon 1/200 scale with landing gears snap-fit plastic models - let me know....I want them !

Thanks for the heads up, y'all....

Looking closely at the sample photo, it looks like the planes' name might be "Eendracht". If so, why put a fake reg on it, if the name's right?

::can't resist::

That'd be like having the name and reg # mismatch on ANOTHER KLM 744, like the one from certain Swiss company...
