    What’s everyone wanting from geminijets January 2023 releases being revealed this week

    Maybe on the FedEx 767, British A380, B52, Eastern L188. GJ QC has been pretty poor recently, so hoping that the cockpit isn't printed below the wing, rotated 90 degrees, or something.

    Cockpit Printing

    With the cockpit windows so low, I sure hope the pilots are alive! Engine falling off it not a problem...well, on the ground. Totally ok with doing a little maintenance from time to time. Anyone know the best way to wipe off the windows? And anywhere to get get some cockpit decals? A shame...

    Gemini Jets December 2022

    Avelo and NWA Electra look cool - definite maybe, leaning towards a yes later in the month. Hopefully their QC isn't 💩 this time around.

    1:400 SFO International Terminal Project

    Awesome!!! My home airport too. If you can, i recommend doing the Terminal building itself hollow - it's a great place to store tools (unless you want to do an interior scene, which would be cool/lot of work). Old project from awhile back.

    Your desired models yet to be made?

    My pipe dream - the Comet I. Yoke Peter and its sister ships were the start of a new chapter of commercial aviation. I've almost gotten to the point of cutting up a Comet IV, but I don't have the heart to ruin a decent model.....yet.

    Testing a new kind of small backdrop.

    Excellent! Love it - looks like the 1:400 is 400 times bigger.

    Show Your Latest 1:400 Purchase

    I completely forgot that airlines have company stores - $20 per for GJ is pretty good - just ordered what was left! Seems that the Wonders is out of stock.

    Out of Control Pricing of Second Hand Models

    It's gotten so absurd that I've started buying new models....and historically I've completely avoided buying new models. They're cheaper than used! After coming back from a two year hiatus, I've come to realize that most of the stuff I liked was retired during the pandemic.

    Any advice on expanding a collection.

    Echoing many others, my three cents: 1. Buy used when you can (assuming it's cheaper than new) 2. Focus on a subject (what you've flown, an airport you model) 3. Enjoy what you already have. Sometimes you lose the ebay auction and eventually you'll have a second chance at that release, most...

    The Mini World of 1:600

    Awesome - I used to model in 1:600 - can fit a ton of airport in a little amount of space. The old Shabaks were of wildly varying quality though. There are some real oddballs in 1:600 - TWA A330 comes to mind.
