gemini chrome stands

charles padolsky · 06-30-2006, 02:42 PM

the gemini chrome stands have to be the worst conceived idea. the stands are never compatiabe with the hole on the model. i have been told anything from filing the tip down to using soap. why can't the best diecast company come up with a customer friendly stand. please give me your opinions. i just got a continental 787 and i wanted to put it on a stand but i could not fit it into the hole

Had a friend that used to complain about the same thing except he wasn't talking about diecast toys or chrome stands.

How would soap help with getting a plane to stay on a stand? I'm seriously curious about that one.

the soap helps to get the stand tip into the hole of the gj which usually is not wide or deep enough.

How does three kids sound? Yeah, things worked out okay for him after he figured out which hole was which.
