Default 250 Scale Delta from Gemini

I'll post the pics here since this is Gemini's first venture outside of 1/400 Scale. The plane over is pretty nice with the exception of the gear being a bit clunky. Many of you should see this plane for sale in mass by the end of March if not sooner. Enjoy

It is true that the landing gear is stiff. I did not want to push any harder than I did for fear of breaking it. If I were planning on trying to close it more than once I would put a spot of DW 40 on them. I don't collect anything Delta or United but this one is a gem. Nice work GJ. I will buy future releases.

I think, I might get the Eastern hockey stick, and Air Jamaica, maybe even the United.

If they make one in Hawaiian colors, I'll definitely pick up a few....
Other than that, I don't think I'll take the plunge into 1:250's..

That model is soooo amazing! I cannot wait for it to hit the stores next month.

I don't find the landing gear to be "goofy" although it sorta resembles the gear on my Aero Mini Eastern DC-8-61.

Any idea what the production numbers will be? I know Gemini mentions these will be limited number models. And I hope they keep them coming out at a slow pace for the sake of the billfold.
