Since I am new to this part of the forum, I'll keep my comments brief.

IS there a belief that the 1/250 line is artificially inhibited in market size since it isn't common with anything else currently produced? There are a few manufacturers in 1/200 and that could keep that line popular. But with Gemini being the only one producing 1/250, and thus there being nothing else to pair these up with in a diorama, is Gemini fighting a losing battle?

Think about it. For those in other scales in addition to this one, how much of your fleets are split amont multiple manufacturers? Being an odd scale means they are the only game in town.

Just a thought. I know the Wings of Pride MD-80 would look great parked next to the Inflight TW B-727-200, but since the scales don't match...
