Review :

Surprised on the size, really tiny, no more 1:600 scale planes for me. This is the first time seeing a different make than Gemini, and the result was awful!

The paint job was really rubbish, engine not detailed, nose looks nothing like actual plane, and the landing gear was just a square piece of plastic with wheels stuck on.

Conclusion, felt like a piece of metal with the worst details and paint job, my plane note had a deeper orange color, lots different from others which was a lighter orange.

Anyway only paid £1.20 ($2.5) for it, so can't complain too much, but was really disappointed with Schabak. Gave the plane away to my son, he loved it brings it to school every day. Kids :)

Gemini Jets : Virgin Atlantic : Concorde

Was Looking into Gemini's Virgin Jets and added the Virgin concorde "Supersonic Voyager" to my wish list.

Only 2000 units were produced and was released in 2004, this is a really rare model, given that it was the only Virgin concorde made by Gemini.

I'd seen it auction off at Ebay few days ago for £92 ($180), fair price I say, my budget was only half of the sold price...

Hope I'll have the chance getting my hand on one in the future, congratulation to the winning bidder.

Review :

This is the first model airplane I bought, it was all my flight back to London, just had to buy one. The plane is very detailed, this has bought me the attention of collecting die-cast planes.

The paint work is of quality and shape is close to real as well, shame was the wheels, although detailed it seem delicate, I guess all Gemini's jets are similar.

Well it's only for display and not for play, also it came with a certificate by Virgins boss "Richard Branson", showing the production number of the plane.

Which was a good addition, different to others where no certificates provided.
