Here it is folks. Just a little preview for the collectorate to let you know that we ARE working on these things...

This is how the blank samples come to us. (Usually not brown though!) We are in the process of making the last few adjustments, so hopefully we will start seeing these beauties in the NEAR future...

David Hingtgen · 06-29-2005, 10:10 PM

All those logos, yet TWA was left out?

Few ERJ's looked better than those wearing TWE's final scheme.

USAirways85 · 06-29-2005, 11:11 PM

Well we've heard that these would come in the near future before and we have yet to see any, but i have a feeling this time might be it. All i ask is a Delta Connection be one of the first out.

jjorgemiami · 06-29-2005, 11:27 PM

Too bad it's not a CRJ, as the EMB had already been done.

guru2k2 · 06-30-2005, 12:37 AM

better than nothing! good to see this

ROBT6191 · 06-30-2005, 02:35 AM

To sum it up... AMEN !

Hope the CRJ's come along right after...FINALLY !

(Imagine those possibilities !!!)

You are a turd with wings.

continental · 06-30-2005, 05:35 AM

Looks good. It should come packaged in foil with a little white ribbon of paper.

The pic appears to be of an ERJ-145. Not to be greedy, but are there plans to do any variants, like the -145XR with thin winglets or the -135?

PS: Thanks for making the ERJ before the CRJ. The CRJ is a stupid airplane.

Ciderman · 06-30-2005, 06:32 AM

Does the Lufthansa logo imply this plane will be done?

Please also include Alitalia Express which I even prefer over Lufty:

Big Al · 06-30-2005, 08:04 AM

Excellent, good to see a 145 is on the way.

Of course you know I'm looking for British Airways and Bmi as first releases.

Continental gets my vote as an early US livery release.

SouthwestAirlines103 · 06-30-2005, 09:04 AM

I think that gemimi finaly producing a regional is a sign of the appocolapse. If they do make a CRj they better do the -700 variation

Greg

Kroll · 06-30-2005, 09:59 AM

Whats that thing made from (clay/plastic)? Do they then make a cast from this that goes into the diecast machine?

Canamwing · 06-30-2005, 10:41 AM

That's a great looking jungle jet. I hope you do the Yak-40 and Cl-65 as well.

umdpilot · 06-30-2005, 11:21 AM

I'd love to see a 328Jet or ERJ-170 next..
What ever happened to all the 328Jets Atlantic Coast Jet had before their parent company became Independence?

Galapagapop · 06-30-2005, 12:01 PM

Z, could you tell me why the other mould was destroyed? I think this one looks detailed but the other one was fine, to make it popular it needed to have some god liveries on it.

Boeing SST · 06-30-2005, 01:11 PM

Will this be a resin/plastic model; or will it be cast in metal?

aviatorisu · 06-30-2005, 01:41 PM

Many, many questions...

1) The plane is will be made out of metal.

2) I don't know why it is brown, we usually get them in bare metal.

3) The logos on the picture do not mean anything. Just possibilities that
COULD be done.

4) Nothing was really "wrong" with the other mould, it just needed some
refinement.

5) When we do the CRJ, we will be starting with the -200 I believe.

YAK-40, yea! Now you are talking! In Cubana and AeroCaribbean too!

A YAK-42 would be awesome too!

I believe they are still being operated by the parent company as a contracted corporate shuttle.

SouthwestAirlines103 · 06-30-2005, 03:46 PM

I found this custom ERJ here on the custom forum, hope gemini does it.

USAirways85 · 06-30-2005, 05:28 PM

Z, don't know if you can answer this....what will come first CRJ or ERJ?

Probably the ERJ, because were looking at it right now.... Unless GJ pulls a fast one, which they seem to have done before...

Sven Nikolaus · 06-30-2005, 07:41 PM

Great news, also Z's announcement that we might see a CRJ in the future.
For the ERJ I would like to see:
1) British Airways Citiexpress "Benyhone Tartan"/Mtn. of the Birds colours;
2) Cirrus Airlines (Team Lufthansa colours);
3) Alitalia Express;
and last but not least LOT !!! That would be nice for a start.

Hope other possibilities will be considered, too. I would really really love to see an Alitalia version, especially because it was the last plane on which I was flying with my father.

SouthwestAirlines103 · 07-01-2005, 03:12 PM

Hopefully we will see some turbo props like the DHC-8 and the ATR-72

Greg

jjorgemiami · 07-01-2005, 03:38 PM

A Dash 7 would be great !!!

FLYFRONTIER · 07-02-2005, 08:51 PM

Nice to see that the ERJ may be making a return to the hobby. Just a few suggestions:

1. Put flap guide fairings on the trailing edge of the wings.
2. It would be nice to see a more detailed nose gear (special emphasis on molded steering actuators).

Other than these nit-picks, the mold looks great! Especially the cockpit area, nose, and APU exhaust.

But then again, what do I know about the ERJ?

richie154 · 07-02-2005, 09:37 PM

There's no such thing as a Regional jet people.

AmericaWestAirlines · 07-03-2005, 02:40 PM

Finally! I hope there's a CRJ in store for the future.

SouthwestAirlines103 · 07-03-2005, 08:29 PM

Most likely we will see the CRJ. It's been about a year since the United CRJ was announced but haven't seen it yet.

alpha608 · 07-03-2005, 11:07 PM

I WANT A UAL EX!

Hey this is #1,000! I'm an INSANE COLLECTOR!

Your mistake in that statement is that it was never annouced by Gemini.

You were insane loooong before the 1000 post milestone! Thanks for getting me to the boat on time dude. KSEA rocks!

Big Al · 07-04-2005, 07:05 AM

Does anyone think a distinct "Gemini Regionals" operation would be a good idea, like Gemini Macs or Gemini Select ?

I do, I think a regional line would be great, so we'd get the regular models, and then a few regionals every month.

lollomz · 07-04-2005, 10:05 AM

Just a question: does the limited edition model will always be only 1/400 or also 1/500??? I'd like to see a Wings900/DAC model 1/500 in the future...

But thats waht Airplane shop said and i thought they were like your showroom ot there in Vegas. Oh well anyway(going off topic) airplaneshop in vegas is definatly the best place to shop for plane models in person as far as the selection anyways. Also the that 1/50 or whatever scale it is, British 777 is awesome. Airplane shop Vegas kicks A$$.

The Airplane Shop and ADI/GeminiJets are completely seperate companies. The Airplane Shop is owned by a company in New Jersey while we are based in Las Vegas. Yes, there is an Airplane Shop in our building in Las Vegas, but the stuff in the store for sale is not owned by us...we just staff the store.

Oh, so that why the gemini jets models are never wholesale prices.
