Inflight200 is the best 777-300ER mould.

Hello, I’d also like to share my opinion, if the question is still relevant.
I only have 777 models (-300ER, -200ER and F) from JC Wings and Gemini Jets. As far as I can tell, both brands use the same mould.
Inflight200, in my opinion, uses the same mould as several other brands (Aviation200, B Models, etc.).
I can only judge those other brands from photos. One thing I do like more about Inflight200 and similar brands is the rear fuselage. On the real 777, there is a fairly sharp crease underneath where the belly transitions into the tail section. JC Wings / Gemini didn’t reproduce that line particularly well. On the other hand, from some photos I get the impression that JC Wings / Gemini might capture the nose shape, including the cockpit windows, slightly better than some of the others.
A real advantage of JC Wings / Gemini, in my opinion, is the availability of the “flaps down” version. The 777 looks especially impressive that way, even if the configuration (full flaps combined with a strongly flexed wing) is a bit unusual from a realistic flight perspective.
One more small detail: on the JC Wings models the landing lights at the wing root are represented with small crystal-like inserts, while on the Gemini version the landing lights are only printed. That’s really a shame and a genuine downside, in my opinion, because those little inserts actually sparkle quite nicely. I believe Inflight200 and similar brands use them as well.
Could you explain why you think that?

Inflight200 is the owner of the 777 Mould which is used by J-Fox, AV200, etc...
IF200 is one of the leading 1:200 manufacturers with the best toolings, with the most moulds, which are regularly changed.
GJ is like J-Fox, the moulds are JC.

Does Inflight owns AV200 and AV400 or they are a separate entity? I am aware that JFox is a solo guy running it but B-models, we have 0 information about it. Nobody seems to be able to find the past release done by B-Models or the upcoming announcement other than waiting for retailers to release the models which are up for preorder. Maybe Hasan can enlighten us a bit since ARD is a partial owner of IF200 from what I have heard from.
