New JC Wings / Gemini 737-800 Coming 'Soon'

[YesterAirlines]

I am surprised I haven't seen more discussion about this, but then again it has been rather well hidden by JC themselves and wasn't initially included in the last set of announcements. Obviously, being JC when the mould arrives is anyone's guess but the latest 737-800 announced makes me almost 100% certain it will be using a new mould. It also wouldn't surprise me if Gemini release using this mould before the JC version gets to market:

New JC Wings / Gemini 737-800 Coming

JC Wings has advertised a large volume of new 400 scale moulds, but often takes a long time to get them to market and even when it does often fails to advertise them. The most recent JC Wings release announcement is a good example of this as the original

Also interesting is that this continues the movement of flaps down into the narrowbody realm that HX began.

About time! That hideous 737NG they've been using needs to go. Hopefully the new mould will be good.

I hope it is good! I’ve been refusing to buy JC/GJ 737s for a good while so as long as it’s on par with some of the others it’s at least a step in the right direction.

I wasn’t sure if it was a true new mold, or just a flaps down version of the old one. Looks like it’s new new.

I don't think they'd bother developing a new wing for the existing mould. After all a new wing would likely require new pylons and engines too anyway and by the time you've done that the fuselage barrel is only a tiny step further along. I had heard chat about this being in the works for sometime but this is the first concrete evidence of it

Can we be certain that except for the flaps down option, the mould will actually be better than the one they are already using ? If it is, then I can't wait to see what they will be releasing with this updated mould.

It's good to see JC Wings updating some of their moulds again. Their A320 series is in bad need of a new mould, and their A330/340 and A350 aren't that great either.

You never know. It is unlikely to be worse and relatively recent updates to their 747s and 777s have been much better

This new mold is desperately needed

I knew NG updated their mould, but didn't know JC did. What did they update with it?

This is great! If they get rid of wing flex…

Couldn't agree more…

Unfortunately their A320 series is arguably one of their newer molds… I believe it’s been around since 2018 or so.

 

[Macsergey]

it would be a great news, the current mould is almost garbage compared to others

I knew NG updated their mould, but didn't know JC did. What did they update with it?

I meant the transition from the seamed mould to the current seamless one - it was in 2018 so that's why i said 'relatively recent'

Wonder if this means they'll also be updating their 1:200 scale mould

See the photos they 100% are replacing the 200s - the sample photos are in the blogpost
