THANK YOU L-1011 for this! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who has noted this.
I'm not one to nit pick these models myself, and frankly am sometimes astounded by the little details that are picked at with any given release. I'm just glad we have them at all. So when the Gemini A380 was released I was and have since been confsued when reading all the accolades that have come out for it. As has been pointed out above by at least one other astute observer, the nose is clearly too long. It's more blunt, and snubbed, as illustrated perfectly in the last photo above, and which Dragon has cleary nailed.
I'm one of those who isn't preferential to one company or another, and could care less whether it's plastic or metal, or the fuselage is .1 mm out of scale. But the high-praise which is being spoken for this model and, quite honestly, the blind eye that has been turned on this error has had me completely dumbfounded.
It's a good model otherwise, but I think I'll have to go with DW on this one.
