So if it's some obscure thing that only 50 people will want, you simply can't expect Gemini to make it.
Everybody understands Gemini's need to make big runs and satisfy corporates. However Gemini used to make a decent number of interesting classic models in the past (Tridents, VC10s etc) which I assume did sell ok since they made lots of these releases. So are you telling me that the only models they can make now are releases that are current or ordered directly by corporates? If so that is very sad and they can't complain when collectors aren't happy with that.

As I pointed out there are plenty of aircraft they could make but don't on unique moulds like the 757/A310 which would sell perfectly well. So it isn't even a question of small volume sales. It seems more like an extremely cautious manufacturer which has lost its soul.

If they just looked back a few years there are lots of non-classic releases from the 90s and 2000s they could make and don't.

Anyway it seems Don only appeared to make a proclamation to the ignorant masses rather than have two way conversation so we're probably wasting our time.
