GJ about to kick some arse!

dylan · 03-07-2008, 12:16 AM

Was at ADI 2 days ago while on a day trip to LAS. Chris lemme know they are coming out with a new mould and one of the most sought-after airframe/livery combos of all time will be produced in 2500 units. All I can say is retro AND current lovers will be very happy!!!

BTW, met Roberto (Aviator8883) cool cat!

QFA388 · 03-07-2008, 12:29 AM

Me thinks it is an Il-86 in Aeroflot colours.
Just my guess.

Am I close, huh am I, am I, huh????

awacer · 03-07-2008, 12:41 AM

Noway dude! It's either a C-141 or a B-52 (just dreamin')

Hawaiian · 03-07-2008, 12:48 AM

Hey Dlyan,
Any info when it will be released?

dylan · 03-07-2008, 12:50 AM

Hey Stewey (QFA) no...

Awacer: You've been a member for 2 1/2 years and this is your first post?? Weird....but not

Guys, it is a civil airliner, and USA born and bred...

QFA388 · 03-07-2008, 01:38 AM

Ummm, DC-4 or DC-7 or maybe Dash-7 or Dash-8??

Is this a new mould against a type already done or new mould for something not yet done??

The lad was waiting for his moment. He saw his opportunity and he took it.

it couldn't be the MD-80 series, could it? its the one mould that gemini doesnt have and please, please, make an alaska md-80, and an american md-80. (both current colors) These are some of the hardest to find, most sought out models in my opinion. I would buy like 10 of each.

Can't be the Dash 7 or Dash 8; they're Made in Canada!!

aklein707 · 03-07-2008, 02:14 AM

I suspect it is a DC-7.
Why do I think DC-7? Because we are working on one too!

Ooops. You're right.
Isn't Canada a northern suburb of Detroit?

Missouri?

L-1011 reworked mould with the S bend fixed, no seams.

ba777-236 · 03-07-2008, 03:32 AM

Me thinks an American Airlines MD-80 is on it's way...

If it is, I say BRING IT ON!!!

UK_Dispatcher · 03-07-2008, 03:42 AM

Great news.

May I?

These would make me very happy!

Stop It! You're TEASING!!!!

Long Sought After...New Mould...American Bred...Retro & New Alike....
2500 Pieces, NOT 1500 Or 500...Mad ...Dog...
The Clues are Stacking Up...
Can't Be None Other Than An American MD-80.

I hope you are right, the cryptic clue was within your reply above

, MAD DOG.

Holy crap....I can't wait! Do we have an estimated release date yet?

What is wrong with me. I read that and didn't make the connection.
Can I take the dunderhead award pls.

Lemme have another guess, its a Boeing764

No seriously, lemme guess....

I flew on a AA Maddog from Tampa via DFW to LAX in 1st. Great bird.

If the M82 / 83 are in that same type, then GJ do these.

Abraxas · 03-07-2008, 04:35 AM

Ok... I'll go against the grain on the MD-80 and maybe hope for a 747SP or revised L-1011...

But I dunno from the clues above or whatever else. I guess we'll find out some time.

AK,
how long before we see the first releases?
Any clues on liveries?

British Airways · 03-07-2008, 05:30 AM

Though I'm hoping for a Delta L-1011-500 on a revised mould, I assume an AA MD-80 is more likely

- just my two cents...

CO735 · 03-07-2008, 09:09 AM

Now see....He said retro AND current lovers will be happy. This makes me think this one aircraft will have 2 separate liveries available (at least initially).

I'll join the speculation that it is a Mad Dog...However, I'm gonna say its going to be Delta, with the widget and '07 colors!

though I surely hope for AA! (They didn't fly any Mad Dogs in the retro livery did they?)

Another option could be Continental with the meatball scheme (either red or black) and the current livery...just a thought!
