Anyone like Gemini Aces?

Post by Panzer Div.68 » Sun Aug 23, 2009 7:19 am

Thought i would venture out into the WWII fighters as well ( 1/72 scale)and was checking out some of the different companies out there. Of course Corgi and Dragon looks great but i came across one called Gemini Aces that look really impressive,and excellent priced as well! Any fans of Gemini Aces or suggestions of other brands to llok into? Remember i`m strickly speaking of 1/72 scale and i like highly detailed/accurate products that wont break the bank. Thanks my friends. :wink:

PANZERDIV.68:

I have one Gemini 1/72 Spitfire, and about 26 1/72 planes from Hobby Master, Century Wings, Corgi and Dragon. I think Gemini is arguably as good if not better than Century Wings and Hobby Master because the Gemini Spitfire has simulated rivets---something that CW and HM usually avoid. Also, the panel lines on the Gemini are smaller than those on my CW and HM. Also the Gemini has a matte finish---some of my Century Wings, Hobby Master and Corgi planes have an unrealistic glossy finish.

My complaint about Gemini is that it releases mostly 1/72 WW II planes which are too small for me. I wish they would release some WW II bombers and modern jets like their new Phantom.
