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.
Injection moulding is how they are all made. The manufacturer makes a special injection die that fits into a special injection mould mechine. They take bars of Zink and heat it up in the vat that is part on the injection mechine until they melt. This multin zink is then injected into the die that then creats the part that the die is in the shape of. Every one of these Zink planes are made this way. So Im sorry to disagree with you, but your wrong when you say that the new VC-10 is not injection moulded.I worked for the company that made the gaurd, and the ratchet for Daisey BB guns.


Also, you prove my point when you say that the BAe-146 from Gemini is near perfect, but the Anhedral is incorrect. It just shows that no matter how perfect, they are not perfect. Sure Andrew Klein can brag that his planes are of the highest quality, and some on the best out there, but the too are not perfect. They are pretty damn good, but not perfect. It just depends on how picky one is to not buy them.Back to the Gemini BAe-146. That plane at best is 3 inches long, and some make think thats huge, Its really just a tiny little toy, and nitpiking the Anhedral on it In my opinion, is excessive.


In my opinion, I think that there are some that will never be satisfied. Maybe its just a way for them to make an excuse not to spend money they don't have, but the majority will enjoy this release, and anybody who dosen't buy a releases because someone else complains about something minor, is only hurting themselves. Try something new. Try not being so picky, and like I have said so many times before. JUST ENJOY THE HOBBY!!!!
