Isn't NG or Phoenix can't remember who going to release these too?
Panda and NG, if I remember well.

Saw a member on the DAC side posted this
Like the member said (Not sure if he or she is on here as well), does anyone give a rat's a$$ that they are the only manufacturer to have the airline’s official license to make the models? Or people simply care about the quality instead of PR corporate relations?

I completely agree with this. I love Gemini Jets, and what they’re saying about the other brands is correct, but they aren’t going to win over as many people as they think they will by making this statement. Collectors (myself included) do not care about licensing and would rather buy the best quality option. They may have had Delta licensing for 25 plus years but it’s not going to guarantee that a collector will jump ship to their option just because they have the license. Plus they’ve made their fair share of unlicensed models in the past (Dream Jets from the early 2000s, and more recently the United Her Art Here specials), so this isn’t like Gemini Jets makes only models of the airlines/liveries they have the license to.

This just shows how they are stuck with this licensing stuff.
While the unlicensed others start production as soon as pics are available, the one who has licensing agreements sure looses big time in communicating and approval and will be last to market.
Now if these 25+ years would be worth something, they'd receive the artwork / painting orders beforehand and could be first to market. Not the case it seems..

The timing of the release probably is part of the licensing deal. If so then they don’t take into account of the other manufacturers…

Yeah, I'll be getting the Panda versions. Not paying GJ prices for mediocre models.

Humorous copyright, I even want to sue GJ for illegally using Airbus copyright to manufacture its own aircraft model, using completely inaccurate moulds, all in awful shape.

I'm assuming if the models are licensed, they'll have the 'correct' artwork. But the comparison with GJs 'official' announcement photo, and the real thing, is telltale - as usual, GJ licensed does not mean accurate - like the recent Edelweiss we saw.
Spot the obvious error.

No, the Alaska Honoring Those who Serve 737-8MAX has the incorrect art work, and was released incorrectly.
Where were they announced? I've missed that.
See here:
March is Delta Air Lines month and I have a feeling NG will be in on it! 
Panda released theirs and NG followed right after

the few shades of blue “swoops” by the tail has an extra dark blue stripe in there…

How about the two lighter shades of blue on the tail (vertical stabilizer)? They are also missing on their artwork.

I don't think that is a different shade of blue on the tail, but the light hitting it a certain way. It seems like one solid color. That seems correct to me. The lightest shade of blue swoop on the artwork? entirely the wrong color... so i'm hoping for geminis sake the color is actually correct on the real model. We'll also have to see if other brands get their colors right.

To be honest this issue doesn’t look that bad. If I can’t tell what the problem is (believe me, I’m having a hard time seeing it!) then it’s probably not that big of a deal.
