Nice Models. I have 3 Gemini Jets. All of them are 747-400s. One of them is a Virgin Atlantic in the previous sceme, & 2 British Airways, one with the Nalanji Dreaming tail, the other is the Wunala Dreaming tail. They run for about $20-$30USD depending on the model, of course. The multi-packs will cost more, of course.

Nice models. If only I could buy a Sabena model, but I won’t because they put the Belgian flag the wrong way on it!:mad:
It’s probably correctly on the other side, but what airline would put it’s own flag the wrong way on it’s aircraft. 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡

I’ve ordered the now on general release Virgin 744 and A346 for roughly £25 a piece. Also won a BA 757-200 on e-bay for £12 and ordered a G-BOAG Concorde (had to as it’s the first one I ever saw).
After these arrive I’m gonna cool my purchases down a little, running out of shelf space amongst other things. Anyone know the number for Gemini Jets Anonymous ???:D

Very nice models there Ren

I bought the Virgin 747-400 Lady Penelope from Ebay and it cost me about £40, it is rare, I think the harder one to come by is Tubular Belle,
I just bought the Virgin 747-400 and A340-600 metal the other day for £30 each inc p&p, beautiful they are too 😀
I so need to add to my collection but every £100 I spend on Geminis is 1 hours less flying time :/ got to be sensible I suppose 😡

Rare (ish) most gemini jets models are made in limited runs of 2000 or so. I gather your 747 is the same. It should fetch a price of £40 on average on e-bay. It could be higher or lower? It’s reasonably sought after, but at the moment the current livery 747, A340-600 and Concorde are the sought after models in the Virgin range.
Your model was a mainstream release as far as I know, the current models are only “officially” available as on board purchases, hence the high premium demanded by the e-bay hustlers.

And lastly this shiny chrome American 777-200, appropriately registered N777AN, one of the two we saw at the Gatwick meet in December last year…
