I personally don't see how you can judge it's accuracies based on a junky picture like that, but based on what I see it looks exactly like what a C5 should look like. What looks inaccurate to you?
i simply doubt, that this is a GJ mould - have you seen the prod. item no.?

???????So now the million dollar question...why did you start this thread anyway as a Gemini jet???? You also dragged Gemini into another thread on the latest JC wings arrivals by Arcunia.nl????????

don't be silly, i just stated that that mould needs a major retooling. nothing more nothing less. i own a couple of GJ200 models and i'm pretty happy with them. some people just cannot handle justified criticism - even when they aren't concerned.
ps: the simple reason for this thread was to find out if the model in the first pic really depicts the actual GJ200 model or a different mould. see my second post.

I expect for four reasons listed below,
(1) He already knew it belonged in the military section of this forum where this post belongs.
(2) Drag GJ good name in this to get views.
(3) A intended false intentional post to get members to vote yes I want one in the Civil section of this forum because he thinks it would be better result here
(4) He wants your contribution Russel So he knows something in new tooling and the rest goes from here
I expect and having a go at you here
"don't be silly, i just stated that that mould needs a major retooling. nothing more nothing less. i own a couple of GJ200 models and i'm pretty happy with them. some people just cannot handle justified criticism - even when they aren't concerned" Yes , you could never be more wrong in post ever

Those are Philippine wooden models in photo above..I'm not sure what the purpose or why this thread was even started other then a retailer misidentifying a model they have for sale...
Second, back in the day Entex offered a large C5A kit with optional decals for the L500 (a "could have been" 747 competitor).
Here's a picture I found--not Entex kit, but still an interesting "what-if."
I was stationed at Ramstein (on the runway) as a USAF Supply guy, and when the C-Freds landed or took off they were a sight to behold. I always ran out of the building to watch them. On the downside the wheels and tires were humongous, and God forbid you ever had an assembly fall on you--curtains, or at least a trip to the hospital! We were a Forward Supply Location (FSL), so we had a lot of parts for the C5A and C-141 on hand. Also, a lot of cannibalization went on too!;-)
Anyhow, I think an L500 would be a neat mold for someone to make. I think Entex (or someone) offered decals for a TWA L500. I mean if someone makes an American Airlines TU-154, or an Air Force One Concorde, an L500 in Pan Am or TWA isn't so beyond the pail, is it?
This pic was posted in the Gemini October hints thread above as a guess by a member, but he didn't say where the picture came from or what scale it was.
I guess Crownvic answered the question about that particular picture. BUT Gemini has released a 1/400 scale C-5 in the Gemini MAC series(pics attached) and is in the habit of releasing some aircraft in both 1/400 and 1/200 scale so hopefully there is a chance for a 1/200 C-5.

The PCM one fills a hole, and to be honest, I quite like the model! I couldn't tell you if it was 200% accurate, and honestly, I couldn't care less, it looks good alongside the C141A and C141B.
