Phoro: Gemini jets PSA BAE146/RJ-85 Reg: N348PS (1:400)GJPSA675

.....Looks good. Only comment would be are the main landing gear that think on the real plane or is it just an angle of the model that make it appear that way?
.....I know at least one person who frequents these boards that has reserved one.
.....I know I'll be hoping that GJ makes a Ansett New Zealand version.

Wings Model,
Can you tell us if this model has the typical pilot hole in the fuselage for a display stand? There are only a couple of rare exceptions in Gemini's line that do not have the hole, e.g., the Hawaiian B717.

The model has a hole - and it is just GREAT!!!!

Moving wheels with rubber tyres!!!!!!!!! Another masterpiece by Gemini Jets!!!

Excellent. I am looking forward to mine arriving soon. Gemini has really done some nice work this year. Kudos to GJ!!!

Whats that weird black stripe-thing that goes under the nose?

psalover · 12-19-2006, 06:09 PM

I love it, an look forward to the 21st, when a box of them will hit my door step.

From The Profile, Looks Fukking HAWT! the Nose & Cockpit is 100% ON! (Or as Close As You'll Get & As Close As ANY Collector Needs!)
Engines are FAB!
However! One SERIOUS Issue & A Few Lesser Ones!

Where TF Is The ANHEDRAL! The Wings Are Not Straight Across Like A Fukking Dash8!

Other Less Critical Issues:
Wing To Fuselage Seam. I think With Age Old Techniques Such As Putty & a Little Elbow Grease, It Could Be Filled In. DW Does It With The C-5 & L-1011.

Pylons. Hmmm. Hasn't Tecnology Evolved?
Tail. Rather Thick In Appearance. How About Injection Moulding?
Gear. Wow, Are the Gear Struts That Heavy? Are These Carrier Based Aircfraft? However, If The Gear Is Retractable, I Could Live With It!
Hmmm, Tail To Fuselage Section Just a Little Too Low? I Know...Nit Picking....

L-1011-Heavy · 12-19-2006, 06:42 PM

Oh Yes, And Good Phoro!

Not sure, but I think that it's not just painted on.

Excellent, nice work Gemini!

Santos · 12-19-2006, 08:35 PM

Nice release.

I think Dave will love it.

I don´t have sharp eyes but what about that black stripe under the belly...is that correct?

You never saw my San Diego diorama......did you?

Am I The Only One Who Thinks The Lack Of An Anhedral Is A Serious Issue?

Considering the only time you will really be able to see the lack of anhedral is in this pic or if you place it on the edge of your table and squat down eye-level with it (which is creepy) No, no I dont think its a serious issue. But the wings are tiny and made of metal, so if you're crafty and careful, you might be able to bend them a tad. I am very crafty and very careful, this wont be an issue for me

No Rick. This issue is major. If Gemini can accomplish dihedral for low-winged aircraft, they should certainly be able to do the same for anhedral aircraft. This is part of what the BAE-146 is all about. I will pass on the Gemini Jet example and wait to see what Brian has to offer. Thanks.

Someone Please Phone Gemini On This Issue & Direct Them To This Thread.
I Ain't.

First Of All, I Must Be Creepy. I Do View My Planes At Eye Level.
Might Be A Crime To You, But I Get An Enormous Amount Of Satisfaction Doing Just That.
Second, The Anhedral Is One Of those Defining Features That Sticks Out Like a Sore Thumb At Every Angle Except The Top View. Don't Know about You, But i'd Sorely Miss That.
Imagine An American Flag Complete With Red & White stripes, but No Stars?

Third, For A Guy Who Does Such METICULOUS Fine Craftmanship In His Dioramas, Particularly the Highly Life-Like Asphalt Of KSNA, I Can't Believe You Overlook Such Blatant Errors. Talk About Weird If Not Creepy...

BTW That's A Result of "200 Years Of Aviation Experience In That Building"

Good Thing I Only Have I Lifetime of Spotting Experience, Because If I Had 200 Years Of Experience Actually In The Aviation Industry, I Wouldn't Have Noticed That Problem!
