Too bad it comes from GJ...

Adrian · 01-19-2008, 10:59 AM

Strange choice with a very bland boring scheme! Would have been MUCH better if it was Aerolineas Argentinas!!

Prestwick Pioneer · 01-19-2008, 11:02 AM

Id be happy with it on a better mould, but yep, its a bit bland.

Be nice, we have many bland liveries that make you guys go crazy. I would call it the mother of all obscure liveries, and in my opinion that makes this release a great treat to the few lucky ones.

Viva, bravo Argentina!!!!

Celso Gomes Filho · 01-19-2008, 03:40 PM

Maybe this is the only opportunity to see such colour scheme tampo printed.. One for me, please. Thanks GJ.
Que venga el 707 de los hermanos argentinos.

Saudaciones

mjabbasi · 01-19-2008, 06:19 PM

Yawn. GJ seriously need to sort that mould out.

gospodin · 01-19-2008, 06:31 PM

Do you think this will be made by AC? Not likely. So you gets what you gets....

niels · 01-19-2008, 07:01 PM

Any special story about this a/c?
e.g.: (from Navy News - The Falklands Conflict - Day by Day - May)
12 May 1982
Patrolling Nimrod sighted Argentine Boeing 707.
[not sure if it was one armed with Sidewinders...might have been the ultimate `Comet's Revenge'

]
22nd May 1982
An Argentine Air Force Boeing 707 on a reconnaissance mission avoided being hit by HMS Coventry's Sea Dart as a flash-door failed safe, preventing missile loading on the launcher.
A second 707 approached the Bristol Group later in the morning. Tidespring had reported the aircraft's presence and HMS Cardiff dropped back from the group. When the 707 came within her range, Cardiff fired a Sea Dart salvo. One missile was seen to burst close to the target which broke away.

What do some of you guys want in a government scheme? Daisies?

While some folks are interested in this model and others aren't, everyone ought to appreciate the fact that Gemini, Aeroclassics, etc. are coming out with these rare gems.

well FAZEMAN, tat seems to be a Royal Jordanian B707 besides this plane in the picture you have posted. well I would grab it if GJ or AeroClassics come out with it!! But this B707 is a strict NO NO for me!!!

dc-8-556 · 01-20-2008, 04:01 AM

I'm going to pick this one up. If AC releases this one, I'll eat crow.

While the task force were en-route from Ascension to the Falklands, they received belated permission to engage the shadowing Argentine 707. Seem to recall that, the first time the SHARs scrambled after this permission had been given, they came very close to going 'weapons hot' on an ANZ DC-10 (or similar), having initially mistaken it for the 707.

I know I read about this somewhere - can anyone confirm?

gospodin · 01-20-2008, 10:30 AM

I would have liked this release more if it was in "Falklands" colors...

Prestwick Pioneer · 01-20-2008, 10:51 AM

My mate came close to going weapons hot on NCARs L188 when it went thru the area without radio contact.

Glad to see there is a growing interest in government airraft of different nations. Quite a few countries have large commercial aircraft used as their "Air Force Ones".

Santos · 01-20-2008, 09:40 PM

I also will take the tango model.

Steven De Lisser · 01-20-2008, 10:00 PM

Love the fact that Gemini has been doing all of these South American and Caribbean 707 releases.

How about a gold Ecuatoriana or a Lan Chile.

Actually, I was thinking of the ELINT 707s they had for recon against the British. They were blue-gray with roundels and squadron numbers at the back of the fuselage. Those would be interesting releases.
