I second the Qantas F-1 model--I don't see what all the fuss is about. I definitely plan to sell mine when the number looks right.
The Virgin models were'nt all that great (sold them too, for a mint!).
GJs 737s have a nose that looks too pointy to me.
Hey, Air Tran, the point of this post was to complain about GJ. Read the subject header.
As for DW not coming close to Gemini...well maybe a year ago, but not now. DW is getting better and better, and I see no difference between them and GJ quality wise. Unless you want to talk about GJs tail seams, too-thick looking tails and wings, tail-sitting and wrong paint colours (AW 319). While DW has obviously been putting effort into their models, GJ seems to have rested on their laurels. Too bad.
Would 1/400 collecting die without GJ? No way! Would DW have improved without GJ's competition? No way!
Having said all the above, these are $20 to $30 models, guys. Show me another hobby that offers such high quality for so little money.
And one more thing--no one makes a decent 727 model, at least not yet.
