Default November Gemini Hints

From Facebook, where they also say the new releases will be announced this week instead of next !

#1,#2,#3 A trio of beauties have rolled off the lines, it's stretched appearance make them look mighty fine.
# 4) Chester has always looked good, his new wings certainly don't look like wood.
#5) A mould long thought forgotten, it makes it appearance but should be Ver Boton.
#6) Fucilli and linguine are types of pasta, but this mad dog definitely does not remind you of Rasta.
#7) The newest of version does make it farther, high gross weight is not much bother.

I think #7 is a Delta A330 with the increased MTOW

Alaska, yes you're right.. Good call. Maybe this will be the Embraer 175.

I'm crossing my fingers for:

TAM A350
Kalitta 747-200..
FedEx or DHL 727s..

#4 Alaska Portland Timbers 737-700 - Timber = wood - get it

All the 1:200 releases just went up on Facebook, I'm assuming the 400's are about to follow.

Air Koryo, I'd probably buy that!

Re: Portland Timbers 737, I am a fan of the Portland Timbers and I go to the games. I would buy a Portland Timbers model if they had not ruined the 737 mold. Sorry to be so negative, but I *loved* the old GJ 737, I bought dozens of them, and now it's ruined... It looks like a chipmunk with a mouthful of nuts... the wheels are too big, and now the model sits almost completely level, instead of angled down, which is grossly inaccurate..

It's so ironic, I used to get impatient with all the collectors who were obsessed about "accuracy" and now it's finally my turn to be disappointed. What a unfortunate slice of humble pie... I collected a lot of 737s, it is one my favorites.

787-9 still missing an upper rear antenna. And missed a trick by doing same BA reg as Phoenix, a ZBKB version would have had my cash.

Well, I guess they have totally forgotten about the LH 748i Retro annouced some 6 months or so ago. I have waited patiently every month for it while passing up on a few good deals on the PHX version. I'll wait no more.

They may have dropped it because of the Phoenix version.

They said a couple of months ago they were waiting for Lufthansa approval and that was after the Phoenix was out. There was some notion going about that Lufthansa may not be prioritising licensing models until the dust had settled after the Germanwings pilot suicide incident.

I think the GJ releases have gotten a lot better recently. Ordered the KLM 787.

A second one! They have already made P-881. If they are going to use this mould, I wish it would be an airline not done before - LOT or TAROM for example.

It is, just the angle of the shot. Having both the 77W and 744 in the new livery has me considering preordering this.

Apparently Gemini's 1:200 version has just been approved by Lufthansa and should be in the December release announcement. You'd have to think the 1:400 version ought to be too...?

Great news! Thanks. I would rather wait for the GJ version if there is a sliver of hope it will soon be realized. Thanks.

I will wait then. I will preorder D-ABYP from the newest PHX set of releases though. Doubt GJ will bother doing this. Thanks for the info.
