GARUDAROD

Now gather my children and you shall hear, of the coming releases that go great with beer!
The number of 400s start numbering at nine, it only gets better if you've been drinking some wine.
The number of 200s starts high with a seven, it surely will have some
looking to heaven.
You military fans, shall also have delight, we've got another
beauty deep in your sight.
The Boeings have babies that number at three, its frosty and sunny
and low cost you'll see.
The brothers of wide also stand at three, if you like sushi and pineapple,
you'll turn blue with envy.
You'll search for the sky as it turns green, that doesn't not mean, no C-17.
If you like to cook like the west, some fresh salmon on ice, is always the
best. The Spanish of gold best served twice more, still does not match
one plus sevety four. Alas that just leaves that dog with no fleas, it's
certainly better, 8 squared if you please.

Three widebodies. The blue and Sushi likely refers to ANA. Pineapple... HA L1011. Or is just the sushi the ANA reference and blue... KLM 772 (I know, that's wishful thinking ).

Spanish of gold, two more IB to complement the Air Nostrum CR9? I hope it also includes an IB MD88...

One plus 74.. 75... E-175? That would be awesome of course....

And to be fair, 8 squared = 64 not 88 . But ok, that's obviously the MD88. As said, I hope for an IB MD88...

Madridista

Just a hint: Inflight has jusr released two L-1011s of Hawaiian Air, therefore, I won't expect anything like this from Gemini. In addition, they would have to borrow that mould (as you indicated in brackets).

hiwhataboutyou?

I'd like to see a Shamu in diecast, i have the Herpa and Hogan versions, but i'm waiting for a Gemini edition, especially the B737-700 with winglets.

i presume that spanish is not a spaniard, but glad if that is a Mexicana "Golden Aztec"

and finally...are there new moulds coming out this month Rod?

To me the baby Boeing is the 737 without a doubt, here are my guesses for those 3:
- The frosty one: Westjet 737-600 or 700 :-D Although this could also be the Alaska Salmon livery since Seattle is one of the cities farthest north in the continental US, even though it does NOT freeze very often there...
- Sunny: Southwest special scheme
- Low cost: Well the 2 above are LCC but what the hey, how about Air Berlin?

The dog with no fleas: MD-88 for sure, I am hoping for a Delta Widget or the current livery

The widebodies:
- Boeing 767 ANA almost guaranteed, this was mentioned back in January
- PanAm Tristar I would say
- Delta 777-200 LR

I think firefly nailed it!!

superbou

I'm very confident with the ANA and Delta you've mentioned Will, but for the Pan Am Tristar GARUDAROD said in another thread that we'll see it for Springtime so I count for it in April released not march but we'll never know it could be a great surprise.

Wow if there is another 2 Delta releases and the PanAm L1011 I have no idea how I am going to pay for these. Its getting expensive last couple of mths. 2 Deltas last mth, got the Delta AV200 DC9 on preorder, and also got 2 AA777. How am I going to hide these from my wife!!! Other than that I am very excited about the Delta releases so far this year. Thanks Rod and Crownvic for all the guesses and pics and great releases.

neil330

Finally an Aer Lingus(Am I right here Rod). Tough clues though.

aradrom

My guesses are aimed at military models...
Boeing C-17 USAF (it would be fantastic if the first release is in the RCAF markings)
Boeing C-40C BBJ (737) USAF
Boeing C-32A (B757) USAF (Air Force two )

superbou

For hiding it to your wife you just have to give her a nice present for Valentine's Day

It might be an A320 as we already have a beautiful A321 and that we don't have an A330 mould. Otherwise it could be a model that have left the fleet of Aer Lingus some years ago like the 737.

[QUOTE=GARUDAROD;772506]

The Boeings have babies that number at three, its frosty and sunny
and low cost you'll see.

I am probably way off the mark with this but would love it if the reference to sunny and low cost meant that there was going to be a release of a low cost airline called 'Go fly' that was aquired by easyJet, one of the aircraft had 'go for sun' on the side.

There must be a southwest in there somewhere and frosty may mean that an American Airlines 737 is on the way.

Sunny, maybe a Sun Country or a Hapag-Llloyd express.

^^^ What other AA 737 would they do?!? The astrojet is already coming out any day now, and the standard colors AA 738 has already been released long ago.

damien54

I was more thinking and hoping that there would be an Amercian Airlines 737-200 released.

Delta_757

Unless it's a new mould (732) it won't be an AA release. Personally, I'd love it if they did a re-release of the AA 738 since I was a dumb *** and didn't get one the first time.

AirCanada881

Ditto ditto ditto DITTO loool

Delta_757

See, the problem is - the sample pictures of the AA's on GJ website are TERRIBLE. I thought, "how ugly" when I saw the 738 and 752 and didn't get them. Then I got the Fokker, because I wanted a Fokker and loved it. Now I have that, the MD-80 and the T7. Debating, endlessly, on getting the veterens 752, but I am not a fan of special liveries at all.

AirCanada881

I missed out on the normal 757 so I got the Veterans one, personally I think it looks cooler than the regular AA and, I mean the liveries are 90% identical aside from the yellow ribbon and the markings on the aft part of the plane... I don't think they will re-release the AA 737 though, the Southwest 737 was released way earlier and given its popularity, they would have re-released it if they had wanted to...

Ok here its goes, Rods riddle is to much for me so these are almost guesses:
Boeing Babys: AS 734 SALMON, SWA 733 (pick a livery ), Delta MD-88
Brothers wide: JAL 767, Hawaiian DC-10, Pan Am L1011
1/200 Military: C-40 (737)

Delta_757

1:200 MD-80 Delta
1:200 B737-400 Alaska Salmon 30 Salmon
1:200 B737-700 SW special scheme
1:200 B767-300 JAL
1:200 B777-200 Continental
1:200 L1011-385 Tristar 500 Pan AM
1:200 C-17 USAF

racer1202

I am guessing that there is some mould sharing going on here, so here are my guesses -
737-400 - I agreee Alaska Salmon
727-200 - Mexicana Golden Aztec
737-200 - Southwest, sharing Jet-X's new tooling like they do with the 727's
A 320 - Jet Blue 10th anniversary
767-300 - JAL
777-200F - FedEx Panda
777-200LR Delta
I think my guesses are good for about 1/7 being correct - that being the Alaska. Although never know about Alaska's Tinker Bell (blue) or maybe a new tool 737-900 in the Disney...

gear down

As much as I would love to see a Continental B777, I doubt Gemini would release it this soon in the game. The Delta & United B777's will be released before the Continental

jonathanpa

Here's what it think:

777 United
767 American
L1011 PanAM
MD80 Delta
737 Southwest
And the C-17 USAF

"The number of 200s starts high with a seven"

seven = Triple seven

"it surely will have some looking to heaven"

heaven = looking to the stars and sky
star = Star Alliance
Sky = Skyteam

seven + heaven (star + sky) = Star Alliance or Sky team Boeing 777-200

That's my two cents

superbou

I really like seeing a JetBlue A320 in 1/200 Die-cast

The next 777 to be released will be the Delta one as we already have seen some pics from our fellow Russel.

Arno

United Airlines DC-10

If that Delta MD-88 is a widget ITS MINE!!!!

Do we have an ETA Rod?

1:200Freak

Maybe it's the Continental Star Alliance Boeing 777-200

(Sorry I don't really follow Gemini jet threads, so pardon me if I suggested something that is not vaguely possible. I just found the Nostradamus kind of post of quite interesting and thought I'd try to decipher the code )

robertjon5

[QUOTE=United Airlines DC-10;772741]If that Delta MD-88 is a widget ITS MINE!!!!

well if it is, i'm sorry, its a MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE!!!!

Delta_757

What makes you so sure of that? The Continental 757 was released long before the UAL 757. I also believe the Continental 737 was released long before the UAL A319 or A320.

I'm betting the MD-80 will be Delta, and therefore, the 777 will be Continental or United.

Delta_757

That doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be the next one released. I hope it is.... I can't imagine they'd give us a Delta MD-80 and 777 in the same month. If that were the case, the MD-80 would most definitely have to be widget.

Personally, since I know the Delta T7 is coming down the line, I hope next month is an MD-80 new colors. Never been a big fan of any Delta livery before the new colors - which are so classy and cool at the same time (IMO).

boiler0178

Well here's hoping a dog with no fleas = MIDWAY MD-88

Also, a 737-800 in AA colors that I wouldn't mind seeing would be without wing-lets.

My guess is Delta 777. It was stated by rod or crownvic that the Delta would of been released in place of the AA if it wasnt ready.

gabe4321

It would be sweat if its new mold of the 67-400 at its Delta Skyteam. I highly doubt it though

czechplastik

I'm all over that Alaskan Salmon.

arctic9048

They have said repeatedly that the Delta 777 will be next. They have not said said that it will definitely be a March release but they have said that it will be the next 777 released.

AirTran Airways 717

in 400 i think:
Southwest 733 (Special)
AirTran 717 (football scheme colts or ravens)

Delta_757

Ok, ok, ok...calm down, relax, take a pill. Joking. Thanks for the info though. I'd be happy with that.

Charlie Alpha

1/200 scale
1. "200s starts high with a seven, it surely will have some
looking to heaven". Delta 727 or 777.

2. Military bird of some kind, maybe a F-4 Phantom to go with the F-100 of last release?

3. "The Boeings have babies that number at three, its frosty and sunny
and low cost you'll see". I think a Westjet 737-?00, and a Southwest California 1 (the sunshine state) if they do a 737-300 mold? (this would be a great model), or Arizona or Nevada Scheme 737. They are already using the Phoenix 737-400 mold. Why not the -300 as well?

4. "if you like sushi" ANA Pokemon 767-300 as pre-viewed by Rod in an earlier blog.

5. "and pineapple, you'll turn blue with envy". Weren't United flights to Hawaii called the 'Pineapple Express' at one time, and they are blue? Anyway, a United 777-200, hopefully in Battleship Gray. Or maybe a 767-200?

6. A C-17, of course. Duh!!!

7. Alaska " Salmon" 737-400. Duh, again!!!

8. "The Spanish of gold best served twice more, still does not match
one plus sevety four". No, I think it matches 1 plus 75. I hope an EMB-175? Some South American ( Spanish) Livery.

9. "Alas that just leaves that dog with no fleas, it's
certainly better, 8 squared if you please". Hope everyone is right. MD-88, but it could be a freight dog DC-8.

World11Heavy

I predict Delta, US Airways, American, Continental and an exotic - British Airways! I want more and more of these great airlines!

Carlos Perea

Then again, Gemini's done re-releases for Delta and Spirit. We could see a re-run of the AA 738W if American wishes it to be so.
