GeminiJets is High Quality in 2026!

[CM Aviation]

Key takeaways from 2025:
• Improved Quality: Collectors noted significant improvements in printing, cleaner production runs, and fewer broken models (0:06-0:54). Special liveries also benefited from heightened accuracy with sharp edges and true colors (1:11-1:17).
• Positive Quality Control (QC): Complaints about broken models, awkward printing, and poor colors significantly decreased, building trust in the brand's monthly releases (1:53-2:34).
• Diverse Release Choices: Gemini Jets offered a consistent set of popular airlines globally, including Heltvic, Jet 2, LL, Saudia, TUI, WhizAir, Biner, Carroll, Cubana, and Norse (2:40-3:00).
• Strong Retro Subjects: 2025 was a great year for retro aircraft, including Delta Ron Allen MD-80s, retro Emirates, United Boeing 737-500, Northwest Boeing 77-300, US Air Force C5 Galaxy, Jalo MD90, China's Northern MD90, and Midwest 717 (3:02-3:28).
• Subtle Enhancements: Small but appreciated improvements were noted in printing density, surface detailing, landing gear design, and finish quality (4:26-5:07).

Expectations for 2026:
• Continued Strengths: Gemini Jets is expected to continue focusing on modern US carriers, new special liveries, and retro models, especially with ongoing fleet transitions and new retro liveries (3:42-4:01).
• New Aircraft Coverage: More coverage is anticipated for the Airbus A321 Neo, Boeing 737 Max, and continued widebody refreshes (4:06-4:16).
• Mould Refreshes: Collectors hope for revamped Airbus A320 narrow-body aircraft and the Boeing 737 family to compete with manufacturers like NG Models (5:10-5:28).
• Increased Special Liveries: Airlines are embracing themed jets more, and Gemini Jets is well-positioned to capture these quickly due to licensing deals (5:30-5:53).
• More Retro and International Offerings: Collectors desire more retro offerings from airlines with deep histories and defunct carriers, as well as greater international variety from European and Asian carriers (5:54-6:36).
• Strong Cargo Demand: Re-releases of Boeing 767s, 777s, and converted 747s for cargo airlines like UPS and FedEx are also highly requested (6:37-6:52).

This video was made with all collectors in mind, especially casual ones.

It's funny how any sort of all-positive reception around Gemini Jets gets panned on the forums, more often than not. It's the only brand I ever see this happen with consistently.

Absolutely, I mean they’re actually want planes I want, unlike NG…

What a unit!

I personally think that this year has been the BEST year for GJ. The United CRJs and E-Jets, the Aeromexico E190, the United SAF 787, the JAL MD90, the 727s from last month, the releases have been phenomenal and the quality has begun to drastically increase this year too.

This is why most people don't take it seriously. It's not that GJ has a better product, or is any better by any stretch of the imagination, just that GJ makes what you like.

Here’s the thing, the better product is slowly becoming GJ. Look at the Aeromexico E190. If that’s the standard that Gemini is planning on setting in the future, I would go as far to say the quality is equal. GJ at least releases what we as collectors are wanting

This deserves a heavy dose of speak for yourself

Me when Gemini Jets doesn't want to release a niche Yugoslavian carrier existed for 10 minutes

What evidence do you have to back this up then? The anecdotal accounts of the few in this thread?

I do think Gemini has struck a few good releases this year, but I can probably count them on one hand. Of course, that is my opinion. I would never presume that my opinion is the same as “collectors as a whole”

Im expressing the general sentiment not on just this forum but on places like instagram, fellow collectors I know, and on YouTube.

Agreed - really the only place I see any negative sentiment about Gemini Jets is here, this forum. I get collectors here have higher standards, but it's always this place where I see negative reactions around Gemini Jets more often than positive. It isn't the whole forum either.

You think there’s some anti-Gemini conspiracy happening on here or something?

Negativity and criticism are two very different things.

The past few years have been marred by QC issues for Gemini, old moulds, boring subject matter, and incorrect livery replication. I could write a long list of specific examples but that wouldn’t be productive. This isn’t just negativity for some arbitrary reason - a lot has been deserved criticism.

But all brands get their fair share of criticism on this forum, when it is deserved. Just look at any NG models release thread and you’ll see plenty. Aeroclassics QC is moaned about plenty on here as well.

2025 was a step in the right direction for Gemini and I’m excited to see what 2026 holds for them.
I will be the first person to give them credit when it is due, but they also are subject to criticism just like anyone else.

I’m speaking on behalf of collectors as a whole not just me,

I bought 21 N reg NGs and 13 GJs total in 2025. Tell me again how you speak for collectors as a whole?

Let me guess, all based in the US?

What does NG have to do with this. I speak for the general public, GJ has been putting the models that collectors have been begging to be made for years. Some examples: the GJ United Express releases. Frontier MD80 and Delta MD80, the Wizz Air release, the JAL MD90, the 727-100s, there are countless models that collectors have been wanting, and GJ has released them, so yes I am speaking for collectors as a whole. And the folks I have talked to are from around the world, Canada, US, Korea, Japan, Mexico, the EU, and Middle East.
