Whatever happened to the Skyliners ERJ-145 mould?

jetstar · 12-23-2005, 11:41 PM

Wasn't this a Gemini mould? I'm looking at pics of the new US Airways Express release and it is clearly NOT the same mould....I see some very obvious flaws in this model, most notably the nose gear...attrocious.

I ordered this model and have not received it yet, so I'll save any further comments for when I actually see the real deal for myself. My question is, if the Skyliners400 AA Eagle model was indeed an original Geminijets mould, why didn't they keep it?

Happy Holidays everyone!

It was probably the base for the new ERJ... Or compleatly mealted down. Chris should take this one.

I heard Walter Sobchak melted the mould down, along with all those TACA models.

nose gear...schmose gear.

I heard that Andrew Klein was last to have the mould. He placed it in the parking lot in front of AeroClasscis Central, so the story goes, and a guy came along and inadvertantly parked a deek-red P-911 on it. Or so I heard.
