Default Csa Il62

I just picked up my Geminijets CSA IL-62M and it looks very nice. It even has the distinctive tailwheel which can be installed if desired. Looking forward to the Trident release, hope it's as detailed as the IL-62!

I'm Sure The Details Will Be The Same Or Better On The Trident As The IL-62.
But Details Have Become The Norm Rather Than The "Special: One Off 5 Years Ago.
The IL-62 Mould Is Rather Crude By Today's Mould Standards, The Landing Gear & Tailwheel Is The Most Noteable Of The Crude Construction Of This Model.
I'm Happy To Have An IL-62, But This Mould Sure Needs Work.
For Now It's Great To Have A Partner For My TU-154.

I'm still waiting for that model that will blow your socks off, Heavy. When that day comes, THAT'S the model to have, I think!

Actually There Are Several Existing Now.
I'll List Them

ERJ 145
The Lastest 763

Aeroclassics:

L-1049
B707 2nd Gen
TU-154
The Newest DC-9-30
DC-8-62
(61 & 63 Are Great, Too But Size Of Engines?)
CV-880


DW Excluding Earlier Releases Before 2002
All 737NG
All 737 2nd Gen
762
MD-80
744

SMA DC-9-30-40 & 50, Although The New Aeroclassics Surpassed Them.

Other Moulds Are Good Too, But These Are The Cream Of The Crop...

As nitpicky as you may be sometimes, how can a mould be considered good if it has the completely wrong wings i.e. Gemini A321...

You And i Talked About That...I Didn't Know The 321 Had Extended Flaps & As Long As It Looks Like The 321 Wing, Then Not Bad.
...And Before You All Say It...I Know Double Standard...
Basically Other 321s Are Not As Good As This Which Is Why I Give It A High Rating...

I thought you would add the SMA B737 as one of their best mould. After all, it does look like they are highly sought after. Everytime I see a B737 release there will be some discussion about the SMAC.

Everytime I spotted on the PA Worldport roof, the CSA or the LOT IL-62 was on the gate. The worldport gets set up for the holidays, hope this one is under the tree. Pictures to follow.

Yes I Did Say That Was One Of The Better Moulds, But Usually Under The Aeroclassics Category, Seeing It's An Aeroclassics Mould. But The Gemini Is Steps Ahead...
