This is why I say people shouldn't knock Blue Box, because they are all the same when it comes to manufacturing. Nothing is perfect, and you have to relax, and not be so picky. I think the collectors on here have been spoiled with a couple of really nice releases, but that not the norm. We have had a string of decent product. This is a reality check to show that they are all the same, no matter who is in charge of the manufacturing.
So instead of tearing in apart, just sit back, and enjoy these little TOY planes, and don't worry about the little mistakes. They are going to happen.

I'm Gonna Disagree With You. In Any Manufacturing, There Should Be Consistency. Particularly If The Manufacturer Claims A High Degree Of Reality.
But The Problem Is Not With Gemini, Aeroclassics Or Dragon Wings. I Actually Believe Those Guys Try Their Darndest To Git 'R" Done.
Black Corrogaurd One Color Red Fits All, Poor Fonts, Colors Off, etc Are
Simple Cost Cutting Measures For The Factory Owners, Of Which Said Companies May Not Have Total Control.
Next, Look How 100% ACCURATE The Fuselage & Cockpit Is On The New Gemini BAE-146. Well Done In Other Areas, Too. But They Fukked Big Time On The Anhedral, An Error That Could Have Been EASILY Corrected Had They Taken Just A LITTLE More Effort In Planning/Research, BTW Of Which Little Or No Research Need Be Done. That Anhedral Is So Frikkin' Obvious, It Sticks Out Like A Sore Thumb.
They Take It So Far, Accurately Depicting The Most Diifficult Parts Of the Model, Then Screw Up On The Easiest.
Next We Have Certain Moulds With VERY THIN Realistic Wings, Stabs & Fins, Such As On The Aeoroclssics 707 (See Gemini For Comparison) & The New DC-9.
Now It Doesn't Take a Genius To Realize Injection Moulding Was Used To Make them. Why Can't ALL New Moulds Have Injection Moulding?
The New VC-10s Don't, Aeroclassics Or Gemini's. Nor Does The New Trident. The BEA 146 Wings Are Awful Thick, Too.
These Are Things That SERIOUSLY Detract From The Model, & Let's Face It, The Manufacturers PROVED It Can Be Done, Regardless How Some With Atiquated "Can't Be Done In This Scale" Thinking Believe. It Can Be Done & It Has Been Done.
And I Think The Factory Poeple At BBX Haven't A Clue. Not that They Aren't Trying AFTER We Point Out Flaws, But Once Committed, They Are Not Willing To Correct Seriuos Issues Either.
