Yep definitely a great mould with rolling gear as well. The Gemini has impressive heft compared to Dragon too because of it being entirely diecastAwesome. Thanks!

Agreed I have both and the Gemini one is very niceThe Gemini one is really nice. Everything is essentially seamless.
Plus the camo C5 DW did was the Travis AFB Camo so different livery tooIndeed a great release! How does the GJ C-5 compare to the old Dragon Wings C-5?
The DW might be old but seems to be a fine mould. I hope to pick up a C-5 someday and I wonder which one looks best.
It's actually LachieHareNG barely releases 1 European model, 2-3 American models, and then a dozen + Asian models. Gemini meanwhile releases a 1:400 commercial set containing 50% non-American models. Simple math shows that Gemini’s release is far more diverse. You yourself even commented that it was nice to see the Binter and Cuban models, a complement that falls short because of the subsequent comparison to NG insinuating release inferiority.
Gemini is an American brand, so if NG can release as many Asian models as they want because they’re an Asian brand, the same holds true for Gemini does it not? You claim that NG is catering to the Asian market and are thus justified in releasing handful after handful of Asian models, yet when GJ releases more than 3 American models as an American brand, that’s absurd? GJ at least attempts to be more inclusive yet still manages to draw your ire.
I also spotted a user named LatchieHare using the derogatory term “yanks” to describe American collectors. Instead of enforcing the rules, you like his comment instead.
I’m sorry but your claims of not being biased are laughable.
And the Binter E2 is great - now we need the CRJ-X to accompany it!
Yessssss I know! The type looked fabulous in Binter colours!Unfortunately they no longer operate the type, but it would be welcome anyways!
I think classifying the Cubana release as an American release is wrong. Cuba isn't part of the US and the government has a lot of restrictions on Cuba which have been around since the 60s. Plus Cubana doesn't fly here as a result.
It's a nice release but I wouldn't be putting it under the same umbrella as the US airlines.
Emirates EXPO is one of the worst selling models ever made. Plenty of stock left everywhere on the 1st release, including 1/200. Who's the idiot at corporate wants to redo it againDespite my enormous bias against GeminiI have a surprisingly large number of nice things to say about this bunch of models. Diverse it isn't but there's quite a bit of potential nonetheless:
It's 100% aimed at the US market and Cuban Americans isn't it. I suspect not a single copy is getting to Cuba. I suspect my understanding of Cuban history is probably more extensive than yours!I think classifying the Cubana release as an American release is wrong.
