It should probably be about time:Gemini Jets August Release Speculations

[JJ Skippy]

Just got confirmation that new releases will be out next week. I’m hopeful it will be Tuesday, but we’ll see what they have planned…

 

[Airplane Wizard]

My guess for both 1/400 & 1/200

- A380 It could be a Lufthansa/Qatar/Korean Air
- Air France 777-300er/200er new livery
- KLM 777-200 new livery
- Delta 767-400 new livery
- United A321 new livery
- Northwest 757-300
- Swiss A330/777-300er
- American MD-80 with a black nose (black nose has never been done I think)

I would buy all those models!

Just a small note, GJ-s probably done with KAL. KAL hit them (and their local distributor) with a massive licensing claim after the 777 release back in January.

Do you have more details about this? Seems interesting to know about

Back in February Skyworld, the GJ retailer here, took down every KAL model they had. Collectors were informed GJ (and maybe JC) wouldn't produce KAL models anymore due to licensing issues.

There are apparently 2 reasons: KAL didn't approve of GJ's HL7784, and they believed GJs would steal sales from the models they sell on eskyshop. Which is funny because those are downright terrible, and 99% of collectors don't give a toss about them.

That MD-80 would be awesome! Especially if it has the pointed tail cone.

Agreed! I’d get 10 to have each be randomly placed in my room so I wake up to MD each morning

You're correct, GJ has done only the gray nose. Jet-X did do black nose releases though, but they're very rare now.

 

[ORD Aviation]

I’m hoping for a Southwest 737-700, Delta A320, American Crj-200, Skywest crj-200 and a United E145 Evo Blue

Which tells you exactly how much the brand lawyers understand the markets they seek to protect.

Thanks for the information.

I'm hoping for the Fokker 100 for American, though highly unlikely. Kinda hoping for a mild release for August actually.

A US Airways dark blue F100 would be great as well.

 

[Bulgogi77]

Here they are






I'm definitely excited for the Delta releases, especially for the A330-900neo.

Aeromexico MD-80 is a cool classic, and the Delta B767-400ER will probably sell very well.
The rest seems to be quite predictable stuff by Gemini.
