I suppose the PanAm and Icelandair are going to be hot sellers

arctic9048 · 05-03-2018, 03:23 PM

I’ll get the UPS.

AirCal · 05-03-2018, 03:31 PM

Put those Pan Am colors on the new 747-100 mold and I'm buying. Otherwise, I may just be in for the UPS 748, but nothing else.

airlineguy · 05-03-2018, 03:38 PM

Icelandair model is pretty nice.

bluetrep · 05-03-2018, 03:44 PM

Scimitar Winglet on iceland air please

SaltyPete29 · 05-03-2018, 03:44 PM

A boring batch in my opinion, save for the Icelandair. Didn’t they release a Qantaslink Q400 in March? I’d really like to see the new Air Canada colors on that bird

Taiga04 · 05-03-2018, 03:45 PM

icelandair for me. first time in a while I will be in on a gemini new release.

Autopilot1982 · 05-03-2018, 03:55 PM

The Qantas link has the revised livery. UPS, Pan Am and Icelandair will be hot sellers IMO.

Herpa already announced that one.

turbochop · 05-03-2018, 04:17 PM

Lordy - how many of those Emirates 777's and A380's do they sell??1

billville · 05-03-2018, 04:45 PM

UPS, Icelandair, and Pan Am for me please. I'm incredibly stoked on the UPS and Icelandair though!! Been waiting for those for some time now....such a great month!

Baerke · 05-03-2018, 04:49 PM

YES YES YES!!!! Rerelease Pan Am L1011!!!! Great news! And UPS 748 too, great!!!

It doesn't have scimitar winglets.......it just has a modified winglet at the top....looks similar to the scimitar.

777-300ER · 05-03-2018, 05:01 PM

Pan Am and possibly Icelandair for me. I think this has to be one of the most balanced releases so far.

travsuz · 05-03-2018, 05:02 PM

Great to see a re-release of the Pan Am L1011! Very nice model! Bare metal.

And so so happy to see the Iceland Air 757 and UPS 747-8. Hope I can get both!

Really wish we'd get a Frontier A320neo though.......

Habu968 · 05-03-2018, 07:30 PM

Pan am and UPS for me! Excited. Can’t believe they are releasing thr pan am again........

NYCAAer · 05-03-2018, 11:00 PM

Grateful for another money-saving month. My wallet needs the rest.

Patman252 · 05-03-2018, 11:18 PM

Pretty interesting month. Looks like i'll probably get the Icelandair. PanAm and UPS are really nice too but my wallet and storage space can't handle a widebody right now unless it's something I want really bad.

Kitty Hawk 1903 · 05-04-2018, 02:06 AM

Pan Am is great for collectors who missed the first one. I kind of like the LOT MAX..

filip · 05-04-2018, 02:52 AM

Pre-ordered the Pan Am L1011.

European Collector · 05-04-2018, 10:02 AM

Good to see they brought back the Pan Am 1011. I could see a BA Negus/Landor aswell being redone.

From the picture it looks like the 757 scimitar winglet. The 757 scimitar winglet isn't a split scimitar like the 737

Franzlhuber · 05-04-2018, 10:36 AM

The icelandair is tempting, but definitely need to see a photo first. The hekla aurora printing turned out a little disappointing, seems pretty difficult to print such colorful liveries.

Citris717 · 05-04-2018, 10:48 AM

Though the Icelandair 757 looks pretty interesting, I am still hoping they release a regular livery 757 as well.

Yep:

Autopilot1982 · 05-04-2018, 12:04 PM

From Gemini's facebook page it is confirmed that Icelandair 757 has the modified winglets which is a very important detail to many.

Yes! I think that is why this wasn't released earlier, Gemini didn't have a mould for the modified scimitar/winglet for the 757.

I too really wish we'd see a Icelandair 757-200/300, 767-300 and 737max in regular livery.

Would love to see an Air India A310

Certainly looks that way on the diagram, hopefully on the model too. The 757 scimitar is of course a much simpler affair compared to the 737 split scimitar system.

DC8-dude · 05-05-2018, 07:30 AM

Well heck.... if Gemini is going to re-release classics such as the PA L1011, how about another black nose Delta Widget 722?

juanchopancho · 05-05-2018, 08:20 AM

Yeah hope Gemini release more 727 classics.

I'm getting the Icelandair model, already have Hekla Aurora so will make a nice pair.

I was more impressed with the :400 releases. They better release Emirates Real Madrid and FlyDubai in 200 scale.

Amen!

But I am curious to see if they have done any corrections to their 777-300ER mold. The last few releases of their current 777-300ER mold have been really bad.

The BA tristars are not that hard to find. There are also the JF ones out there, so I don’t think a rerelease is too likely.

Two have been released in plastic/resin. I had a heck of a time finding them.

Herpa 200 Icelandair 757
Pacmin 200 Icelandair 757

bluetrep · 05-05-2018, 11:14 AM

GJ need to change to scimitar winglets on this release as well

Personally I prefer diecast over plastic, which is why I would like to see one made by Gemini or JC Wings

Hi Baerke
Yes, I pre-ordered this one from Scalemodel-Store.

Baerke · 05-06-2018, 03:27 AM

Ok I see it is up for pre order indeed, so reserved mine

Rockybudgeboa · 05-07-2018, 05:55 PM

Quite pleased with this group. Since I am getting back into collecting

Back into collecting? Say what? Seriously, and if so, welcome back.......

AirCal · 05-07-2018, 06:24 PM

Yes, welcome back!
So what do you have your eye on in the above group?

Rockybudgeboa · 05-07-2018, 06:28 PM

Yep. Sold off a majority of my collection since daughter no longer interested. Regret it, and now back

Yes, several of your collection are currently hangared at my house........

Welcome back!

Rockybudgeboa · 05-07-2018, 06:53 PM

Yes they are

Baerke · 05-08-2018, 11:06 AM

Welcome back to the hobby!

Rockybudgeboa · 05-08-2018, 11:28 AM

Thank you all. Working as a Courier again so I can afford some models again. Not as much as before, but enough to make me happy

1011Tristar · 05-08-2018, 12:15 PM

I'm back in the hobby now, too...just switching from 1:400 to 1:200, and the occasional 1:100 Pacmin. I have a question about UPS: Back around 2004 or so the only way you could purchase a UPS model was if you knew someone who worked for them. They didn't sell them on the open market. When did that change?

Not sure...but Gemini has produced a bunch of UPS models the past few years...most of them currently still available. 767-300 w/winglets, MD-11, 757-200, A300 and now this 747-8! :-)
