What's the point of Jet-X doing this, if it was already released by GJ??

Some people prefer this mould, some people may have missed the Gemini release.

Why does any manufacturer release something already done?

Yup, they issue the same airline liveries among the makers, why not the same military aircraft? Already have the GJ, though.

Is the GJ version sold out already?? I didn't realize it had been so popular. Military models usually don't sell out as fast as civil ones.

If the GJ rendering is no longer available, it makes sense for Jet-X to do it. If not, I'm sure there are many other more original things that can be done.

Take the Qantas F1 744 for example. GJ and BB did it, and now PHX is doing it because there's still a market for it. This benefits manufacturers as well as collectors who didn't have the chance to get the previous ones. I'm not sure if the same situation holds for this RAF model though.

Err, ahem....has no one noticed the underwing refuelling pods are missing?
Maybe this is a sample that didn't have them?

Will have pods under wings. This is limited to 100 pieces and was planned along time before Gemini version but due to mould issues it was delayed then delayed again. This being the reason why it is a small run.

I ship Jet X BAe146 models Post free worldwide. I now stock Jet X models for those in the UK that have trouble finding them. Bigbirdaviationmodels - Home

Why not call a spade a spade??

These are Magical BluNutz models, in a Jet-X box!

Jet-X (ie Brian) is no longer in the business, and sold out to Johan Chan & Jimmy Wu (aka Blu Box, Nutz Models, C&C, Magic, Big Turd, real Big Turd, Big Turd Mark IV etc etc)

Know what you are buying, & who you are supporting!!

This has been a public service announcement!

That will come as a surprise to those customers who have dealt directly with Brian and Jet-X recently.

I recently did so regarding a number of Bae-146's, and look forward to some of the new moulds and livery combos he has announced.

Brian does not trash talk Aeroclassics, why do you feel the need to do so to Jet-X?

Unicorn, please read Andrew's post again. He did not trash Jet-X.

FYI, Brian & Vince and I are friends, and I do not trash talk friends!
Since they have sold their business to the fringe elements of our hobby, I am merely stating that fact.

For someone who comes from, and lives in an Anglo country, your English comprehension is pretty poor!

Mystère

Although English isn't my native tongue, I didn't felt he was praising Jet-X either...
