Older pre-2020 Aeroclassics are usually a safer bet than a lot of more recent releases. N361US is a good example and a 2007 release. She was delivered to Northwest Orient in August 1965 and operated for the cargo division wearing this unusual natural metal scheme. Most of Northwest's 707s served with them for less than a decade, with the majority exiting the fleet by mid-1975. N361US was sold to Cathay Pacific as VR-HGR in August 1972. She then went on to Biman Bangladesh in 1980 as S2-ACF and Faucett Peru in 1990 as OB-1401. She ended her days in the mid-90s with the Peruvian Air Force.

First big bummer of the year for me! the V stab is an easy fix but the engine doesn’t fit the way it should so I contacted the store. Hopefully I can send this one back for a replacement…



Also of note- This is the second GJ Delta regional to arrive with two of the same main landing gear, just one flipped around. First it was my CRJ900 and now this one. I don’t understand how that isn’t caught in factory. The model site very sideways on flat ground!! has this happened to anyone else? With everything wrong with this guy it’s basically junk if I don’t get a refund/replacement

And you will have people praising the GJ Delta CRJ-900 from awhile back as the best release of the year in 2024 and an indicator of GJ's turnaround when they put the main gears on totally wrong

I don't mean to be so pessimistic... They actually did a nice job on that ERJ-175.... I'm sorry you had poor luck.

Models should only be the "best" when it is a model that everyone has been asking for and the company can actually make it as good as possible.

I was finally able to snag the LAN Chile 767-300 for my ATL layout. Unfortunately when the LIM-ATL route was announced I missed being this release and have been looking for it since. Thankfully this amazing Waffle collection sale has been amazing for these old releases for me.

GJ does stand for Glued.....Just.

GJ does stand for Glued.....Just.

Surprisingly, after four years of collecting, I’ve never had a broken GJ. Only broken GJ’s I’ve had have been models I have had for years, likely just broken from my misuse of Gemini jets when I was younger
