Very nice!!! They can go so many routes with this. KLM comes to mind....

looking good, hopefully GJ200 has different "engines" options for different airlines!
so since this is an A330-200, does JG200 have A330-300 mould as well? anyone got some inside news?
I was really hoping this would be in the GJ May releases....I guess we must wait a bit more. Beautiful model though, will go nicely with the GJ Hawaiian 767-300.
The Hawaiian 332 is growing on me, it's nice to see an Airbus widebody being made, lots of potential livery/airline possibilities. EI, AF, DL, NW and US come to mind.

Do we not realize that this is a SAMPLE. Why do we need to nitpick a sample.
And does GJ have a stellar track record of fixing things on samples? Anything about a GE90 come to mind? Or 767 cockpit windows?
The GE90 is probably more complicated than just a nosegear fix, but GJ has had multiple years to correct it. The one time I can remember them fixing something is the color of the pylons on the UA 763. You can also count the 737 dragster fix, but with that came the reshaped nose that was ugly as hell.
The majority of my collection is based on GJ200 models, but only those that don't have noticeable (to me) flaws. As has been said hundreds of times before, this isn't a cheap hobby. I bet HM200 is raking in the cash right now with their A310 mould...

I am sure you won't be buying this anyways. You seem to find something wrong with just about any release that comes out.
Haha....glad I'm not the only one seeing this. I love the posts questioning the color already. The pictures from the OP show the model in a poorly lit environment and the comparison of the actual aircraft shows it fresh out of paint and in the beating sun. I've had a sample of this model since March and can't find a flaw yet.
Will I be posting more pics? Nah, it's fun to sit back and watch.

I pointed the faded purple colour of the tail logo because GJ messed up their first HA B767-300 release and it appears it is the same dull purple shade regardless the lighting is poor or not. Same with the FedEx purple, GJ/AV/JC tend to make it too dark. It is better to criticize the sample now before they go for final production run and ending in disappointment.

this would be perfect for me if the printed the side cockpit windows a little lower to better align with the center 2 windows and the PAX windows. hopefully this will be corrected in the production model (provided this is a sample).
What's with the bizarre, awkwardly elongated forward wing root? The nose profile and cockpit windows are way off, too. I know it's only a sample, but if history is anything to go by, I doubt much will change for the final production.
Nice try. But no thanks. I'll stick to Hogan Thankyou. That nose profile has some real issues as with the cockpit windows. Not to sure about the position of the pitot tubes. Working on a A340 in the morning, I'll take a closer look.
The cockpit and door printing will definitely have to be improved. It looks like the whole nose area is curling downwards. Airbus A330/340 models have this issue also when applying cockpit and door decals on custom models. The shape of the nose area causes the door/window decals to tilt down towards the front which is why I apply the window and door decals as separate pieces and straighten them accordingly.

i shall wait for the A340s !!! The A332 mould seems to be not too bad .

That cuaght my eye as well. I looked at pictures of the real plane and it looks nothing like that. Im not as much interested in the A330 as some of you guys so it doesnt matter to me either way, but yeah first thing I noticed was that wing root area and thought to myself....wtf is that? lol

Regardless, the model does look nice!!
Absolutely agree Finally someone saw Otherwise,nice model
A few details look disturbing, some of them could be due to some distortion of the photo.
On another site, window line, forward doors and cockpit windows seem to be good ...
... but the wing root extension ahead of the leading edge is strange.
This must be corrected.
And maybe the fairing below the fuselage (at Toulouse, it is called "le ventre mou") would need some attention.
For the time being, my conclusion is that the Hogan model is not so bad.
The A 340 being identical to the A 330 (except the engines), I'm afraid that if nothing is done, the A 340 (if produced) will display the same wrong details.
Please Gemini, do something !
I have to agree with David Hingtgen. This IS the time to call out the errors. It should be noted at this time as well, that Rod (at Gemini) has said on another forum that this particular Hawaiian A330 model is not as far along as a few others he was reviewing, so my take from that is, Gemini is going the extra distance to ensure whatever becomes final will not be afflicted with ongoing issues like their 777's and the missing GE90's that so many here have ranted on about (including me).
I am confidant that GJ will deliver a sparkler of an A330.
