See Richard Stretton's review of the Gemini's first-third of 2016 models here:

First Third 2016: Gemini Jets - Yesterday's Airlines

Of 29 models, there were three classics--an Aeromexico MD-88, a Pan Am 737, and a BA Concorde.

Last year, Gemini were using their Convair 580 mould. I have the very nice Allegheny model sitting on a shelf less than a foot from my left elbow. Let's see more Convair classics!

i'm torn on Gemini doing 747 classics. Their mould is good, but not great. There's just nothing close to the outstanding Aeroclassics moulds. These need to be put back into action, period. Preferably by Andrew himself, if some arrangement could be reached.

At most, possibly two for me this month. Possibly the Vietnam A330, as I don't have that national carrier represented yet. Also, I don't have Norwegian yet and haven't decided between a 787 (Gemini) or 737-800 (Aeroclassics).
