Bravo! I see quite a few new Geminis on the order list this month. The Il62, of course! People Express B732, Lufthansa A310 and Piedmont B722. Great releases!

Thumbs up Gemini Jets Il-62

I hope Gemini Jets can be persuaded to produce this model in the original 1970's Soviet-era Aeroflt colors with the "hammer and sickle" flag on the tail . Some other 1970's era IL-62's I would like to see are LOT, CSA, and CAAC.

if they do not them perhaps GJ will lend the mould to AC for some retro action that only AC knows how to do.

Exciting Airframe Indeed But Am I The Only One That Notices The Rear Engines Span Much Too Wide? & How About the Nose?

I've seen the sample and it was pretty good if not perfect! Now i want to see the final product with my own eyes before i judge! But on the photo it also looks very very good! Perhaps some minor things but that will be no problem.

Nice to see this one finally.

But please, remove the metal printing for the reverser buckets on engines 2+3 before it's released. There are no reversers on engines 2+3.

The IL-62 by GJ looks nice, I have been looking at photos on airliners.net comparing the two and so far it's pretty close and I think I'd like a few.

I will wait for an Aeroflot, LOT, or CAAC.

Aaaaaaiiiiii i missed that! Well GJ have to do that better! But on the other hand a better version of the IL-62 or M is not on the way! So i really hope GJ will fix that before the ship the models.

Zach man you noticed that?
