Preordered the CONTINENTAL EXPRESS CV-580 (Red Meatball) N73106.
At last (after a long time) Gemini brings us a new CV580.
I hope many more will follow; I love the props.
That American/TWA 717 is certainly a surprise. I would prefer the regular TWA version and will patiently wait for it, but I'll certainly take this one too
Whatsup with the Cessna 172 in the release picture? I'd buy that one, but not sure we would ever see one of those in 1/200. It would be the size of a quarter lol
I don't understand the Turkish Airlines 777-300ER release. We have three different versions from JC Wings, but I'll get it anyway. Hopefully we will have a narrow body THY release at some point!

Agree 100% was hoping for the 321....

Thank you for making one of my suggestions on Gemini facebook page. The AA/TWA Boeing 717 transitional livery. Gotta love that one.
Looking forward to seeing some day the 727-100, 757-200 (AA/TWA) and Boeing 737-300 polished.
It would be really great if the Delta 767 was on a new mold with removable gear. It would also be great if that 172 was actually a 1:200 release. However, both of those things are extremely unlikely.
Another WN 737-800? Really? The WN MAX was placed into service this past week… What a missed opportunity for the introduction of the WN MAX. Gemini FAIL!
Well, I was reckoning that it would be SWA 737 MAX but it turns out to be 737-800s.
Although I cannot see their differences other than the chevron-shaped engine, I am still going to wait for the MAX.
Anyway, the released GJ SWA 737-800s has been a great model and I am sure that this one is also going to be awesome.
That?s are several noticeable differences with the 737 max, it has chevron engines, the body has a different rear end comes to a tip, rather than blunt end, and the winglets are redesigned as split ends.

100% agree! Fail. Maybe this 3rd standard livery 738s will be enough for them so they can start making the special livery SW aircraft.

That TWA 717 is interesting. Might go for that one!
So what will SWA use in their Hawaii expansion? The ETOPS 800s, or MAX 8s?
Interesting that the TWA 717; N426TW never wore her TWA colors. She was one of the last four to leave KLGB w/o paint. She was put into the paint both once she was delivered to AAL. I wish I were smart enough t o post pic's, see attached below
I would think SWA (WN) will most likely operate the MAX on the new route strictly from a specific fuel mileage aspect. Although the new -8H4's are extremely fuel efficient, as you know most airlines operate on a PRM Passenger Revenue Mile margin. 1/10th of 1 percent in fuel burn is huge when you are talking about the mega tons of fuel burned per year over the fleet of aircraft.
I really, really wish SWA would exercise options for a few -9 MAX's or pick-up options for -900's to make the possibility of a few more Non-Stops esp. to SEA-MCO or HNL to/from SFO or OAK possible. No Hub & Spoke system to the Islands
Photos are up on the GJ website! Hopefully the sharklet on the Spirit has the inboard Howdy paint. It's missing in the photo on the website
Hmmm.....interesting....it's included on the A321. It may still be there, just not shown on the sample. The GJ photo of the Allegiant A319 released last month didn't show registration, but the actual model has one.
Looks like the actual aircraft don't have the "Howdy" on the sharklets....This photo from June.
Yea, it was delivered like that, but they went on to add the "Howdy" Either way I suppose is correct, just personal preference to see the way it is currently. By your: point, I can't complain GJ got it wrong
EDIT!!!!
The one I posted was older. It seems for the past few months, the left side sharklet has nothing on it. The right one is still in the standard "spirit.com/Howdy"
Here's a newer photo from this past august:

I hope it does have the Howdy on the sharklets...we shall see....
The Air Canada 789 with the corrected windows and 3D satdome looks amazing!
So happy GJ changed those windows!
I COMPLETELY agree!!! That reason is why I haven't purchased any of the previous new colors Air Canada releases.....the windows looked so "toyish", and so wrong. Wish they'd re-release the 787-8 again. :-(
I can’t help but think every time I see a new Air Canada you have to do a double take to distinguish it from a Delta. Obviously not anything to do with these models, but those two color schemes sure are similar.
