Gemini Jets - 1:400 Future Releases

JJ Skippy · 10-15-2020, 05:37 PM

Gemini Jets is beginning to announce some future releases for 1:400 scale after a good chunk of them were announced this past month. Expect a new future release to be announced every two hours or so. No full list has been posted on Gemini Jets’ website; once that’s done I (or someone else if they see it first) will get the rest posted on here.

Photo quality is about as good as a potato; this has been the norm for the future release previews.

I love it! I will keep watching for a possible announcement.

JJ Skippy · 10-15-2020, 07:22 PM

Announced at the top of the hour was an El Al Boeing 737-800, 4X-EHD, GJELY1956.

JJ Skippy · 10-15-2020, 08:13 PM

Full list is now available on Gemini Jets’ website. Here’s what’s planned to be released in the near (hopefully, for some) future for 1:400 scale:
- GMFAF093 French Air Force A400M
- GJELY1956 El Al 737-900ER
- GJCLX1954 Cargolux 747-8F
- GMLFT092 Luftwaffe A400M (not sure if this has been announced already)

Overall, not really great future releases for me.

JJ Skippy · 10-15-2020, 08:20 PM

The following 1:400 future releases remain on their website as of Oct 15th:
- GJDAL1927 Delta A321 "Thank You" (was announced sometime in July/August after NG hinted at this model; NG has since released this plane and Gemini has yet to answer)

- GJCLX1947 1:400 Cargolux 747-400F Retro Livery (was announced last month; most future releases usually aren’t released the month after they’re announced)

- GJUAL1795 1:400 United 787-9 (was announced sometime last year; NG has released one since the announcement of this model as a future release)

- GJBAW1876 1:400 British Airways 737 MAX 8 (was also announced sometime last year; due to the current groundings, I imagine it will be a while before this one is released)

- GJQFA1928 1:400 Qantas 747-400 (was announced a few months ago IIRC; not sure what is holding them back from releasing it)

I'll definitely be getting the Cargolux 747-400 retro scheme....

British Airways?? Surely a fantasy model. I don't believe they have any on order.

Yep another fantasy model. Apparently BA pilots are refusing to fly the type!

747438 · 10-16-2020, 06:54 AM

A Kalitta Charters 1/200 722 was announced not long ago, I hope they follow suit with one in 1/400!

From June 2019: https://www.businesstraveller.com/bu...-max-aircraft/

Quote:

The mix of B737 Max 8 and B737 Max 10 aircraft would be delivered between 2023 and 2027, and would be operated by IAG member carriers including Vueling and Level, as well adding to British Airways’ Gatwick fleet.

EDIT: Of course this was pre-COVID, so it remains to be seen whether this comes to fruition, but the LOI is still in effect.

It is Comair. South African BA franchisee that does have the MAX on order; one was delivered and they still have seven on order currently.

caclm · 10-18-2020, 12:32 PM

I really do not understand why GJ doesn't release the normal version of the -800F anymore, i have already lost several freighters for not having the normal mold same thing with Lufthansa cargo 777F & MD-11F not release them yet in 1:400 scale what adisappointment with GJ

They (IAG) put in a large Max order last year. It was all over the news too.

Definitely ! i would love to add both scales to my collection.

JJ Skippy · 12-02-2020, 06:34 PM

We had a good chunk of the future releases be put in the December releases, so there is a chance we may have more announced once Gemini Jets is done with the 360 videos on their social medias. With the holidays coming up, I'm not so sure if they have any ready though.

Here is what we have left for the 1:400 future releases:
- GMFAF093 French Air Force Airbus A400M
- GJELY1956 El Al Boeing 737-900ER
- GJCLX1947 Cargolux Boeing 747-400F
- GJUAL1795 United Boeing 787-9
- GJBAW1876 British Airways Boeing 737 MAX 8

JJ Skippy · 12-03-2020, 08:32 PM

As of me posting this, here is where we stand for future releases. Three new future releases have been posted onto Gemini Jets’ social medias, all of them 1:400. Pics are a bit out of order.

- GJGIA1961 Garuda Indonesia Airbus A330-900neo Ayo Pakai Masker PK-GHG
- GMUSA096 Rockwell B-1B Lancer 85-069 (Ellsworth AFB, SD)
- GJKLM1905 KLM Boeing 777-300ER Orange Pride PH-BVA

JJ Skippy · 12-03-2020, 09:02 PM

Future release number 4:
GJVIR1935 Virgin Atlantic Boeing 787-9 G-VZIG

The neo looks interesting. But who needs a 'cradle' orange pride? 🤔

shandaken · 12-04-2020, 12:55 AM

Would love too see a Korean 747-8i from Gemini in the near future.

Redrado · 12-04-2020, 02:56 AM

That lovely Garuda A33N goes directly to my wishlist... it better be good

This really annoys me. Why release the same reg as NG when there's loads of others that could be done? Surely it would be a win win situation for everyone if they did a different one? Same as the Jet2 738 and I'm sure many others.

That just shows Gemini’s pure laziness. And it won’t help that it may be on a cradle mold too, so in that case, the NG is gonna win this battle.

Delta dc-8 · 12-04-2020, 07:48 AM

Well it’s great they did orange pride 2-3 years after almost every other company did, and kept the 100 sticker which has already been off the plane for two months

Glad I've got my NG one. I would have considered getting this one if it was a different registration. GJs stupidity is baffling.

They released this years ago with the tug included. Why would they redo it?

I remember how quickly GJ released this one after the 1:1 version appeared.

jcahea · 12-04-2020, 01:40 PM

with all that GJ smack talk above you all are gonna make Russ take that baby seal paddle off his wall!

They’re probably redoing it because of the 100th anniversary sticker which makes no sense. As Delta dc-8 said, that sticker has been off of the plane for two months now. Makes no sense...

CaptainTyler · 12-04-2020, 03:34 PM

Could we perhaps see another American Embraer 175 release? 200 and 400?

Envoy this time, and preferably N279MQ

doug seeley · 12-04-2020, 04:23 PM

And what about the B 757-300(W) mould? Sure, it has drawn some flak over clunky gear, but with a few minor tweaks, might it not be a money-maker? Doug

Tris10&11 · 12-06-2020, 04:23 AM

I'll deffo get the Bone!! Waiting for the day GJ does the Buff (B52) too

I have JC's version. I LOVE IT!! One of the most accurate 748's to date imho.

To be fair, they did the Porter Airlines Q400 that had the Canada 150 stickers on it I think a year after that plane returned to its regular colours.

I have it on good authority that it takes at least 4 months from concept to release for these models except in certain cases

Plane crazy · 12-06-2020, 04:22 PM

When was the last time Gemini used their BAe 146 mould? A Dan Air would be most welcome sometime in the New Year!

Apologies for the late reply, but per DiMA, 2018 was the last time the mold was used. Looks to have received an "upgrade" to the landing gear on the China Eastern release, the latest one.

JJ Skippy · 01-04-2021, 05:39 PM

Looking like we will be seeing some January releases from Gemini Jets tomorrow at around noon Pacific Time. I don't expect much in the way of good releases myself, as January is typically a slow month due to the holidays.

One thing I'm hoping for them to do is that stinkin' United 787-9, which has been a future release since their August 2019 releases...

Andrew1984 · 01-04-2021, 05:55 PM

What about 1:200?

That would be covered in the 1:200 forum.

Andrew1984 · 01-04-2021, 06:01 PM

Ok, thanks for the information

JJ Skippy · 02-05-2021, 09:09 PM

Looks like we got some new future releases after the catalog was almost cleared up. Love to see a regional jet finally despite it not being a North American one. The Amerijet does interest me, could get that if I had the money

Hopefully some of you folks may take some interest into these new future releases.

vellnueve · 02-05-2021, 10:12 PM

I'd like to see a KC-46 in 1:400, hopefully that will be forthcoming

Delta dc-8 · 02-06-2021, 08:11 AM

Very excited for the America West 757 “Ohio” can’t wait to see it

caclm · 02-06-2021, 09:53 AM

Amerijet 767-300WL for sure !!! but 3 manufacturer releasing the same model Qantas A321-P2F and same registration ??? lack of imagination

planeoldwill · 02-06-2021, 10:00 AM
