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!!!

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.

Is this a new mould against a type already done or new mould for something not yet done??
Can't be the Dash 7 or Dash 8; they're Made in Canada!!

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

Not even close Andrew. Some dog is really mad right now, and yes QFA, he lives in America.....n
I hope you are right, the cryptic clue was within your reply above, MAD DOG.

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.

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!
I suspect it is a DC-7.
Why do I think DC-7? Because we are working on one too!
I would go with an L1011 and even maybe the MD80, both haviing been previously released and well done...but a DC-7?...now that would really be an arse kicker!!

No, its a re-tooled 400 scale diecast mockup of Andrew Klein without the seam..The first issue was a sellout...this will be a retroversion post 1977

Re: GJ about to kick some arse!
I just saw that Michael Moore movie "Sicko" too!!
As much as I hate the bloke, he did put together a convincing film!

It must be something in the MD80 series - Gemini cant compete with Aeroclassics in the classic 9 arena and they know it (that’s why we haven’t seen anything for awhile). And the L1011 has vanished for reasons I can’t even begin to understand because everyone else is releasing L1011 models on a pirated version of the Gemini mold (except for InFlight).
Now if they were really smart they’d blanket the market with all variants like SMAC did years ago and Aeroclassics is doing right now. I wish this new mold could include a reworking of the 717 but I guess it isn’t worth it for them (not enough liveries).
My guess is either American or Delta (Delta has been doing a lot of work with them lately). Actually, it must be Delta because there is no retro American Airlines MD80 colours.
Steven De Lisser
PS - AK, Sicko was brilliant, MM isn’t the villian you think he is.
Guys, as I said before, it is obviously the MD-80 sorry to all you L1011 lovers out there but the MD-80 is the only mould that they have yet to release. It is nescessary for gemini to create this mould because almost, if not every other company has a mould of the md-80 and there is a huge market for the american md-80 as demonstrated by the dragon md-82. I really hope that the new mould is MD-80 because the market really needs a good quality one. I would also be pleased to see a Northwest DC-9 new colors. This could also be an etremely lucrative product.
Now that everyone has guessed...Dylan, why don't you just say what it is or were you sworn to secrecy and ADI is holding your wife and children hostage so you won't say anything?

BTW, met Roberto (Aviator8883) cool cat!
Well they have the BAc1-11 due to be released in both 200 and 500 series.
Saw it on a trade flyer not long ago.
Is it one of these?
It is a Braniff B-52 in a gross combination of calder and peter max colors.
With a picture of Hillary Clinton, with cleavage, depicted on the tail. What ever happened to all of that media buzz about Hillary and aher cleavage anyway?

Hey Dylan, I just got home from my week in LAS. It was great talking to you and Chris at ADI! I'm about to put the 10 models I got there inside my display cabinet with the rest of my collection.
Some very cool DC-8-71s are also due to be released within the next 90 days, together with some exciting goodies in the 1:200 scale!
This hobby keeps getting more and more interesting!
