Gemini hints for Oct 16...

nathanbennett · 09-14-2016, 06:27 PM

This month there are nine 1/400 models, seven 1/200 models and one 1/72.

1/400
#1 A veteran from an era past, she sports a mean shade of green, its a blast!
#2 This one is classified as a commuter, it can be hard to work on if you need your computer.
#3 A former charter whose schedule came true, her tail of blue will be flying Intercontinental before 2022.
#4 Soon to be parked in Kingman it seems, better get this one soon before its reduced to just mimes.
#5 She got a special escort from an F-16, this beauty has pride all over this ride!
#6 A classic bird who has been given a modern update, no matter how old she is, she still looks great.
#7 From Kandahar to Baku, this giant is covered in shades of Silver and Blue.
#8 Sporting new colors, she is lots of fun, especially when you are taking her from the snow to the Sun!
#9 Do they serve Drambuie in Chiang Mai?

1/200
#1 That's a Spicy Scimitar!!
#2 Do they serve wine on this 19, maybe but the spices are mighty fine.
#3 Ooh these sharklets look sweet, but this little bird could use some more meat.
#4 It's finally here, the anticipation is complete, better rush in to get it, before its deplete
#5 Ahh the pinoy will be bursting with joy, this one is pretty even as a toy.
#6 Well lookie here, she is all fancied up with a bunch of new gear, the Military love this, but try not to spill your beer.
#7 Soon to be retired, she will give up the ghost, but you can bet the Budweiser people used her the most.

1/72
#1 You train in this one to learn your task, better to keep this away from your flask.

I feel like #8 may finally be the Sunwing 737-800.

*Edit* Damn. Just realized it's the 1/400 clue.

Yes, same thoughts too. I'm glad you agree as I collect 1/400 so a bonus for me

If you remember this, but an advanced version.

ZuluLima · 09-14-2016, 07:15 PM

What's with all of the spice and alcohol references with the clues lately? I guess now repetition and irrelevant gastro-focus will be part of why these clues are so terrible.

The Orange Pride is not a Gemini release though, its JC Wings. And the Aer Lingus 757 was already released.

Yeah but I've been sleepwalking in 1:400 fora��

ukjohna · 09-14-2016, 07:56 PM

#4 could be almost anything, from a much requested but never announced bird (BA 763 with RR engines anyone?), to an announced, but never delivered model. I'm going with the latter and expecting the BA 748F

Please oh please be a P-8!

Sean's AA DC-10 · 09-14-2016, 09:15 PM

#3 - A318?
#4 - Hoping for something great!!

Rockybudgeboa · 09-14-2016, 09:16 PM

Perhaps one is the re-release of the Aurora Borealis Icelandair

travsuz · 09-14-2016, 10:04 PM

I have not idea on any of these!! Was hoping for a Delta 717...... or another JetBlue something...... Or a Frontier something.......

#4 is probably the Icelandair 757 Aurora.

Rockybudgeboa · 09-14-2016, 10:09 PM

As a non drinker, I am not keen on most of these hints, but did Budweiser not have a MD88?

So the final hint could be either American or Delta MD88

I normally don't get involved with the hints, but I can only hope and pray that this clue just might be for my much wanted TWA twin stripe MD80!!! They are being retired as we speak and will be gone for good soon, and it spent a lot of its days in STL with TWA (Budweiser reference). I'll keep my fingers crossed as I've been waiting what seems like a decade for this one to be done lol.
So here is my guess:

#7 = TWA twin stripe MD80

SouthwestAirlines103 · 09-14-2016, 10:59 PM

Ohh! A general aviation release! Please not another Cessna 172 though.

Tate777lr · 09-15-2016, 12:55 AM

My guess for #3 is a Lufthansa A320neo but who knows

Are those diecast 1:200 c-5s in that picture? is the C-5 for sure being made at some point?

kgb4187 · 09-15-2016, 01:37 AM

#1 could be referencing coppa meat which is spicy...

Zendocon · 09-15-2016, 02:33 AM

Bet you it's Spicejet.

D-AIHB · 09-15-2016, 03:10 AM

#2: Lufthansa A319?

geeforce9 · 09-15-2016, 04:18 AM

#4 BA Landor Concorde?

Prospect of seeing a die cast Galaxy is very exciting, even if it is the newer C-5M. I hope in time they do a screaming C-5A/B as well.
I didn't know the RAF A330 'Voyager' was released in 1:200??!! Missed that one

European Collector · 09-15-2016, 05:19 AM

the Galaxy is a nice idea...can't wait to see them doing the delivery scheme!
maybe there is also hope for an An-124 in 1/200....

AeroNautique · 09-15-2016, 05:49 AM

#3 An Embraer E170/190...yes I know 'sharklets' is an Airbus buzzword but an A320 hardly needs more "meat"...

#4 Etihad A340......PLEASE!

Came across that on facebook just the other day and there was no mention of scale but it could pass to be 1/200.

Surinam Air 747 · 09-15-2016, 07:55 AM

#2 under 1:200 sounds like Air India A319, maybe..??

I hope so too!!

But the hint can't be a European airline because the reference to Budweiser, famous American beer...

Same here....was hoping for a new JetBlue as well......

Baerke · 09-15-2016, 03:44 PM

Is it me or are those hints becoming more difficult each time? Or vague? Well, hoping for the new klm Embraer 175 and martinair md11! Delta 717 would be welcome aswell; )

737A319 · 09-15-2016, 05:34 PM

They certainly aren't easy. A KLM E175 would be great!

TheFSXPilot · 09-15-2016, 06:28 PM

These hints sound promising.

crownvic · 09-15-2016, 08:12 PM

I know its not much, but 2 guesses are spot on....

Rockybudgeboa · 09-15-2016, 08:28 PM

I do not collect narrow bodies anymore, so looks like this month will be easy on
me

DouglasDC5 · 09-15-2016, 09:54 PM

1/200 #5? Pinoy is a slang for a Pilipino.

Rockybudgeboa · 09-15-2016, 09:59 PM

Maybe one of them is the A320NEO? Or the A330NEO?? Or whatever they call it

DouglasDC5 · 09-15-2016, 10:02 PM

A330NEO?? Or whatever they call it

Cute.
Made me laugh!

GOL737NG · 09-16-2016, 10:10 PM

#7 will be a Southwest 737-500 for sure.

JETJHD · 09-17-2016, 01:09 AM

What about a 717 for number 4?

jetfly1968 · 09-17-2016, 08:44 AM

Not really sure, But what I am waiting soon is a TWA MD80 Twin Stripe and a Korean Air MD11.......

Regards Modestos

Darn, you just ruined my day

for a couple days I thought there was hope I could finally get my TW MD. The hint definitely could be a 735 though

If there's an American A321 hopefully it a non-sharklet version.

TheFSXPilot · 09-17-2016, 08:00 PM

I hope they'll be something Canadian.

minimalist · 09-19-2016, 08:47 AM

i hope tomorrw we will know what the october will bring

i hope on a 737 500 lufthansa. or a320 neo
