Brian is contracted with Jet-X but doesn't own Jet-X any longer. And you'd be shocked if you saw the "to do" list for the BAe 146.

I'd prefer the GJ BAE-146 mould.

Then you will be disappointed, the Gemini mould is only the -200, and it's all too happy to sit on its arse due to balance issues.

I have both of the Qantas -200s and can attest to the issues with the Gemini version.

The Jet-X version is available in -100, -200, and -300 versions and is a nicer model all over.

My suggestion would be sort out those bloody awful engines before deciding how to paint it! The Gemini may sit on it's arse but it is a far better looking shape! I should know, I have both the Jet-x RAF 100's but they are let down by those awful engines, incidentally both my Gemini's sit properly & have a proper set on engines on! Just my Tuppence worth.

Princess Air (-200)
British World (-300)
Air UK last scheme (-300)
KLM uk (-300)
British Airways Chatham with British Regional titles (-100 G-MABR)
Manx Airlines both schemes (-200)
British Midland Commuter - Lufthansa basic colours with small titles (-200)

Exactly my thoughts! Also, the Jet-X wing/fuselage seam gaps and shape are quite hard to look at.

My issue has always been the JX engines, too. GJ makes them much more convincing, with a narrow edge to the opening and (mostly) no seams around them. Also, I think the JX cockpit printing makes the windscreens look odd. But I'll still get JX because, as Brian pointed out, they make all the variants...and they have some great liveries.

With Jet-X high retail pricing, I would rather see better quality and mould accuracy.

For those slamming the mould (which has gone through substantial improvements), hate our mould? Start a Gemini BAe 146 suggestion topic rather than slamming what others enjoy.

I don't doubt that is has, did the engines miss out on that "improvement" ? Again, just my tuppence.

A lot of "suggestions" were leveled toward GJ too, nobody is singling Jet-X out. Don't be so sensitive... The BAe is selling well despite the flaws.

Your reference of the very first Jet-X BAe release vs. the newer releases obviously shows you have no clue what you're talking about.
