It’s about time: Gemini Jets July Releases Speculations

[Atlspotter]

Since the new June releases have been stocked by retailers, and it’s almost mid-month, it’s about time for the Gemini Jets July Releases. July is always a notable month for Gemini, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see some of those future releases in the July batch. Here are what I think will be/should be released.

1. Southwest “Tennessee One”
-it was already released in 1/200 so it’s most likely going to be released in 1/400

2. Alaska “Salmon People” and “Seattle Kraken”
-both are from future releases

3. USAF VC-25
-another future release.

4. Delta E175 and CRJ900
-not that they will make it though,

what do you want to see?

The USAir MD-80 that is from the future releases. Also a Northwest or Republic MD-80.

AA Md 80?

A deluge of Emirates models, GJ's been oddly skimping on them recently.

Yep I expect a A380, 777-9, 777-300ER, 777-200, A350, A330-900!

Makes you wonder why they don't release any older Emirates aircraft, like A340s and A330s.

Doubtful they'll do AA...they've released 3 so far.

 

[Bulgogi77]

I'd love a Delta E-175, CRJ-900, or a 767

It’s based off what Emirates wants due to the licensing agreement. Gemini probably can’t make those unless the airline wants those, and seeing as they’ve been long gone from the fleet, this is likely not going to happen.

 

[JJ Skippy]

My predictions:
- Expect a deluge of US stuff. Obviously this is their biggest market, so they’ll likely make a majority of the release around this market.
- Maybe one or two European models. This all depends on how many US models are released; if lots are made then this might not be the case.
- A retro US model. Seeing as we’ve gotten a couple MD-80s lately, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see one this month.
- Emirates, depending on if the airline placed an order.

I rarely buy new Gemini models anyway - Crappy moulds and bad QC. Not that they make many models that interest me in the first place. If they finally got around to making a QantasLink Q400 in the new livery, that would be amazing, but it's about as likely as Phoenix getting a new 747 mould...

I’m going to guess that the July release set will probably use another classic mould (prob not the 747SP) but possibly a DC10, DC8, DC-6/4, and Convair Prop. Out of these the DC8 or Convair is most likely IMO. There will also probably be a current future release that will be in the July release set, hopefully Tam Fokker or USAir MD-82. (I know purpleplane would appreciate that) Im Not sure if the 764 will be used again, but most likely for a United Release. Overall I think the following,

1.Classic Mould, most likely using DC8 or Convair Prop
2.One of the future releases.
3.At least 2 American releases
4.At least 1 release from South America, Africa, or Oceania
5.At least 1 Asian release
6.MD-8x (probably us air or another airline)

Since its only the June releases on the new releases page, we should expect the July release in a few days (1 or 2)

Hopefully they revise the 764 mold and make a Delta “Onward and Upward” or BCRF 764

Here’s my thinking with when the July releases will be announced with a few scenarios:
1) We see them announced this week.
2) They might announce it instead during the Airliners convention. Since it’s their 25th anniversary this year, I wouldn’t be surprised about this happening nor would I mind waiting the extra two weeks if it meant that.

I recon Emirates 777-300er and a380 in the new livery, A neat one to see would be the Air Chathams Convair CV580 from New Zealand. Those were the last ever passenger CV-580s operating and only retired from service in 2021

What makes you so sure they'll release either a DC-8 or a Convair? Last GJ DC-8 I remember was that Pan Am one around 2016(?). Convair does make a bit of sense tho

Idk, I feel like they would use Those Moulds for the 25th Anniversary release sets. Also, GJ used the DC-8 for a Eastern Release back in 2018.

Part of me wonders If GJ will make a fantasy airliners International model, like they did in 2010.

I have low to moderate confidence this will happen. Would be nice though.
