The fuselage is the same as used by Blue Box, the wings, however seem inspired by AC and the engine and attachment have been changed from the recent Magic ski-jump edition.

The landing gear is, unlike Blue Box Pan Am's, fixed and similar to GJ and AC..........

Interesting combination of influences. Nobody else made Minerve, though, so an original airline. And for those starting the flame wars- check out AC's recent boxes. Interesting mispelled words in German and French- Text inspired by Herpa but with cultural improvisation.

Model looks ok from where I'm sitting

That's an unexpected one ! Not sure I'll get it, I'd like to know if a Minerve DC-10 is to be done someday first.

This would be nice from Gemini in the DC-8-73. A DC-10 would be nice too from Aero Classics!

What's funny is that they got the engine colour wrong, but the box seems to have this picture on it!

They're certainly 'trying', if that's the right word with the lesser known or expected airlines though.

Looked it over and it is a nice model but-

residue from the glue all over the wheels and a strange grey powder over parts of the fuselage.

Better printing than the Air Gabon though which looked like some of the windows blended with the frames- to much thinner in the paint or just sloppy application?
