Thats probably correct... We still have the SAAB gates here in DTW that haven't been used since their retirement collecting dust.Delta Saabs were based at MSP/DTW only? or were they everywhere?

I ended up getting the original BCRF livery for free from a challenge at AI 2025, and only got Vince Dooley because it looks relatively close enough to the normal livery to go with the rest of my panda fleet.I am in the same boat as you... That Gemini Jets 767-400 is atrocious, and I passed on all of their releases except the Ron Allen to give it a try. I will be happy to replace it when the opportunity comes around.
I got the Vince Dooley also and returned it as soon as I got it in hand it was so bad.I ended up getting the original BCRF livery for free from a challenge at AI 2025, and only got Vince Dooley because it looks relatively close enough to the normal livery to go with the rest of my panda fleet.
I can tolerate it a little more because the Dawgs, but I’ll probably switch it out if NG actually wants to use their 764 mold.I got the Vince Dooley also and returned it as soon as I got it in hand it was so bad.![]()
Already preordered the United ERJ, hoping to pick up the American CRJ on release.China Northern MD-90 one of the major highlights as they continue to push out global Mad Dogs. Will definitely try to get that down the road but the United 777 is a big priority for me since I flew one (albeit a non-ER) over the summer.
Also more US regionals! Long overdue for another wave of those so expect that to remain consistent over the next several months.

What other choices do we have for the regionals though? They are in high demand and wanted by collectors.For me Gemini's September set is another solid if rather uninspiring bunch, but does include some RJs, albeit on subpar moulds. Here's my ranking of the releases.
I agree (and believe I said as much in the vid), but doesn't mean it should be ignored.What other choices do we have for the regionals though? They are in high demand and wanted by collectors.
Personally I've never liked waiting for the best product to come out; I know that I'm not the only one who does this. For the purposes of my collection, I can't justify waiting on say an American Eagle aircraft, since I make videos that typically require those models. I know it's hard to rank GJ's CRJ mould as a good one, but still the US collectors go crazy when one gets made. I think even the Air Wisconsin one sold out at a lot of places and that had some bad cockpit printing. Credit to 3DD, the catalogue they have so far is pretty good while being small in size, and I hope they will hit the big requests soon. The SkyWest house colors and Northwest Airlink from a couple months ago were super nice, and they said November would be a big CRJ month.I want Tristars but it doesn't mean I went out and bought the awful Lockness mould Aeroclassics made.
Completely agree. I bought the Gemini CRJ550 right away, instead of waiting for 3DD to maybe get around to it next year.Personally I've never liked waiting for the best product to come out; I know that I'm not the only one who does this.

I'll use another example, the MD-80s. These are a little different since they're not high-priority for videos, rather just me wanting as many as possible in as little time as possible. I don't feel like waiting on NG to make them given their current usage of the mould. However these future releases give me hope that they will circle around to making some of them. GJ/JC has done well utilizing it and Phoenix coming out of the woodworks to make some lately has been fun to watch.
