Model Airplane Showdowns! Gemini 200 VS Inflight 200, 1/200 United Airlines Boeing 777-300ER

[@16abind]

This is fantastic. I am always surprised by these comparisons. I thought Gemini was going very downhill and the inflight are "suppose" to be the higher end. I had no idea the inflight had so many inaccuracies and QC issues. Also a point not mentioned is the engine shape. One of my guys in a FB group pointed out the inflight mold for the GE90s for a production run look more like RR ant not GE90 shape. The inflight in this case seems to display that issue. The Gemini engine mold is unmistakably a GE90 engine. Also that intro was amazing. Please do more comparisons among popular models as this is very insightful and helps me decide on buying what models for my collection, thanks

@@16abind I didn't know about the engine shape either, thank you! And thank you for the kind feedback, I'll keep making these

Something you can see if you look well, the mould of inflight 200 for boeing 777 and its equivalent in scale 1/400 of the brand aviation 400, are very similar molds but obviously they are separated by the scale, in fact aviation 400 also has a sub-mark in scale 1/200 called aviation 200 which makes the same Boeing 777 mould that inflight 200 usually use.

This was a great comparison. Subbed for more!

Great video! I really appreciate these showdowns. I often have found dealbreakers on some models, and price is very important to me as well. Gemini Jets does indeed make terrific 777's. Inflight needs to ease off on the astronomical prices.

[@rpgiv3175]

@@stepuptothemike9603 Amen to that, the inflight models are crazy expensive!

Do a 3 way comparison with Gemini, inflight,ng models

[@rpgiv3175]

@@wardogies NG model doesn't have a 1/200 version of this aircraft, nor do they have the tooling to do it. I already did a 3-way comparison with Gemini, NG, and Aviation 400's 1/400 scale versions of this aircraft in March of 2024

@ i meant something smaller like the 737 or 757

[@rpgiv3175]

@@wardogies Ah. I don't have any other aircraft models that have been produced by 3 manufacturers, so I can't right now. If I ever run into that circumstance again, I will do it.

[@epenos2154]

the only thing i dont really like about gemini's model is that the gears, especially the nosegear, are a tad bit too long, imo

Omg the wings word and the horizontal stabilizers word are driving me nuts! Airplanes have only one! One! Wing! Except for biplanes, same thing with the horizon stabilizer.

[@rpgiv3175]

@@mr.md-11klm4ever Left wing, right wing. Left horizontal stabilizer, right horizontal stabilizer. That's 2 of each.

are you dumb

[@804dallasmd]

I got the inflight because the nose is a better mould

[@rpgiv3175]

@@804dallasmd I think the nose is right about the same on both models
