Gemini Jets - Resurgence of Aircraft Types in 2023

[JJ Skippy]

So I’ve been taking a look back at Gemini Jets releases so far this year and I’m currently trying to think of aircraft types that saw a resurgence of releases this year; how I’m defining this is a type that has seen multiple releases this year (threshold is five more releases than in the last calendar year or in the last several years).

One that comes to mind is the MD-80 which has five releases, up from zero in 2022. I suspect there might be others, so if you know other types, let me know, thanks!

I think it's been a while since they released Fokker 100s.
The recent TAM release was a nice resurgence, I guess...

They did do one last year (an Alliance one) but yeah it was nice to see another one of those. The last release before the one in 2022 was a QantasLink three years prior.

I would still love to see a Fokker 100 in US Airways dark blue scheme.

May not qualify as a resurgence, but they did 2 747SPs this year (TWA and Air Mauritius), after not having made any since 2017 at least according to DiMA.

I suppose this would count too.

How about the VC-25? It is their original 747-200 mold with some tweaks. Can't remember the last one they made before that. A Pan Am one around 2018?

The last one would’ve been an E-4B in 2019.

Do they still have a BAC 1-11 mould? There are several I'd like to see made....like these:

I think BAC-111s are a great idea, I think one of these might be cool, I think they’ve been done in 1:200 before, not sure though.

Aeroclassics have made this. I think the chance of Gemini using their One-Eleven is sadly near zero.

The B767-400ER is not a resurgence, it's a new mould for GJ.

That would be awesome if they did. Or maybe NG could pull a few more classic surprises

A model I would add to this list is the Ilyushin IL-62M - which is not a significant " resurgence" like the other moulds (IL-62M: 1 made this year, none in 2022, 1 by GJ in 2021; other moulds counted were disappeared for quite sometimes). And it is the only GeminiJets that I add this year (counting both new releases and old releases - which is significant for me bcz GJ is a large and legacy manufacturer).
