I may have noted before but my suspicion was the Gemini DC3 was a Phoenix mould. So nothing new.

Gone 1/200. where it's at.

Big problem is no-one wants my 1/250th Swiss B747. So will just keep my collection of GJ250, and this, in the loft to rot.
Let's face it ... it just didn't make any sense to create a new scale inbetween 1/400 and 1/200. You either collect one or both scales, like I do.

Why would you want another scale to further complicate matters?

As much as I compliment GJ for their fine efforts in producing such detailed models, the timing just isn't right. Kind of like the Edsel. Great car. Bad timing.

Now that I think about it, it's akin to the A380. Superb engineering (except for the wiring gurus). Bad concept. Small market potential. Ultimately will a poor business model.
