TOP 9 1:400 Scale Model Airplane Brands | Gemini Jets! NG Models! Phoenix Models!

[@EliasZuniga]

I like your positivity and agree. We should encourage and support the companies that are in this hobby.

[@swiss4009]

Thanks! Btw are you from the Windy City? I see the cloud on your profile piic😉

[@Jared-91]

I'm somewhat new to collecting aircraft models. I had no idea people were hating on Gemini Jets. I have 6 Gemini Macs models and I've been so impressed with them!

[@swiss4009]

The MACS are actually super good!

[@pavelseleznev3091]

Everything is known by comparison...especially the A350 from Gemini Jets and NG model clearly show the difference. The A380 from the same Gemini Hets and Aviation400 also shows the difference. From Gemini Jets, I would advise all Emirates aircraft and, except for the A380, as well as the 777 model, so far I have only this knowledge...

[@ericgu9036]

Also one thing to consider, jc wings and Gemini are linked, they share molds for their models.

[@airguy9387official]

i might do something like this but im changing it up a little. "guessing your age based off your favorite model plane brand"

[@martinlaurenceboyles2505]

My favorite aircraft model brand is GEMINI JETS and PHOENIX

[@stevewhan7308]

Phoenix 747s tend to have flat modelled wings, looking awkward with outboard engines near horizontal to the ground. So I’m very reluctant to buy another one from them.

[@josefbuckland]

Appreciate some brands don’t make the planes you want. Checked out the entire NG range and while they are super there is not one jet or livery I want on my runway so sometimes you have to get what you can get the only exception is when I find a Boeing or Airbus with flaps down speed brakes up and reverse thrust engaged that I will be the first to slap it on the runway. Too video

[@Oatmealgoat18]

Which brand has the best mold for 77W? Pls reply I would appreciate it.

[@gihvaviation1069]

My top three: 1.) Gemini Jets 2.)NG models 3.)Pheonix

[@00typeralejandro]

gemini jets sucks the a320 and a321 the nose and cockpit looks horrible all deformed. the NG makes the best a320 and a321 nose and cockpit and even the 737 800 and 900 are really good gemini jets seems like they don't care if the molds are accurate or not because they know they are a old company and people are nuts for them I would say gemini jets is number 3 on the list

[@pelemlangka]

Wow thanks a lot! It really means so much to me😊👍🏼

[@user-nf3fe6qq9d]

The jc wings had a bad first impression for me because my first model was an l1011 and it came in broken,though some parts were broken because of bad shipping but the paint chipping is from the factory

[@swiss4009]

Yeah, every manufacturer has some bad models once in a while. Just try to find the best brad for the model. For example if you want a 738, get a ng models and if you want a 77W get a jc

My list would be: 1) NG 2) AV400 3) AC 4) Phx 5) JC 6) DW 7) GJ 8) Herpa I don't have a Panda model so it's not included in my list.

[@JeffreyYS]

lmaooo jc wings below phx and gj below dragon??????? cmonnnn

[@2m2a2r2k2]

@@JeffreyYS You put GJ above DW? Why?

[@JeffreyYS]

@@2m2a2r2k2 gj is more up-to-date in my opinion

[@2m2a2r2k2]

@@JeffreyYS That's because they still produce 1/400 models, but most of them are booooring and not unique at all. DW made a lot of unique models and a lot of them were excellent aswell (some exceptions ofcourse).

[@sumettaengo4993]

Having watched quite a lot of yesterdays airlines videos, i think aeroclassics as well as dragon wings often gets wrongly downgraded, simply due to the fact that most collecters today a younger and new in this hobby, hence why the older jetliners/propliners they produce dont apeal to them as much.

[@swiss4009]

True that. They do still make decent models but comparing them to jc or ng makes them look a little outdated

[@CMDRFandragon]

The NG SW Max 8 will likely be my next grab. I think SW looks snazzy

[@MrSportagues]

Great video. My rank would go JC Wings, Gemini Jets (some models cockpits are off though)Aviation 400, NG (not happy with the 787 Cockpit windows) the Phoenix (wheels come off easily)

[@alexis_ian]

I mostly agreed with your rating with exception of the top 3.

[@swiss4009]

What would u change?

[@alexis_ian]

@@swiss4009 For my ranking NG Models is still my top pic followed by JC Wings and third is Gemini Jets.

[@CMDRFandragon]

The wheels are smaller than they look in the pictures lol. I got a gemini AA 777 300 and dang, those wheels are microscopic. The gear look a little flimsy to

Totally agree with you bro! nice video! thanks!!!

can you rank any brands from 1-9 for each on a scale of 1:400 and which brands on a scale of 1:200?

It's very hard to say. Ng, panda and aviation 400 are all pretty damn good

Gemeni are good , may have the most, and are improving..sometimes they're top quality..but may be ranked behing ng and phoenix

Can u tell me which is the best brand on 777-300 and 757?

757: ng models 77W Jc wings or aviation 400

[@2m2a2r2k2]

I will never understand why people rate Dragonwings so low. Yes they feel cheaper because of the plastic parts, but does it matter how the model feels? How it looks is what's important. They have some excellent moulds which are still good for todays standard (747's, Tristars, DC-10, MD-80). Also some very unique ones like the 747 Space Shuttle carrier. They also come with a stand and geardoors. Not even mentioning you can get them for half the price of NG or Gemini. Same with Aeroclassics. They produce many aircraft types that no one else does and most of the moulds are excellent aswell. Just because they don't make many modern aircraft, means they are bad. I would rate Herpa far below Dragon and AC. 7:50 There are plenty of reasons to dislike Gemini by the way, it's definitely not just for the sake of hating.

[@sumettaengo4993]

i agree with you 100%. Many of the models i collect, mainly old sas planes, no one makes them in 1:400 except for AC. For the price Dragon wings is really good imo, especially the dc-10.

[@Randomvideos-zi7pe]

You just answered your own question with the last sentence

[@blanquistao1423]

Actually I have some 1:200, 1:400 and 1:500 Herpa modelos and they are very good

[@negativeenergy3523]

Bruh. I was gonna buy an NG 787 Air canada but i thought NG was bad quality so i just went with the GJ one

[@Randomvideos-zi7pe]

well NG is literally next generation so hence next generation of diecasts so it deserves the top crown

[@Donity]

I personally only buy Gemini jets because their models are really nice and they are the cheapest out of every brand, NG, JC is way too pricey for me.

[@aviation7479]

Phoenix is cheaper

[@swiss4009]

Gemini is alright

[@pranavprashant3915]

Do anyone know about Sage Square models?

[@swiss4009]

Now when googeling this brand only a few pictures came up of models on a stand with out landing gear. Those are would be TOYS, not models. But idk if that's the brand u mean

Not in 1:400 scale. Herpa is decent in 1:500 tho

7:39 ok about the hate it’s mostly like parents who buy stuff for there kids and leave reviews on it but still a lot people who are hating on them are kids parents and NG models fans the toxic ones so

[@sliferxxxx]

Tbf, Herpa's niche is actually 1:500 scale. With that being said, even in 500 scale JC wings and Aeroclassics would rank above Herpa.

I'm a 500 scale collector and Herpa is probably the geminijets of that scale. Other decent brands are: sky500, aeroclassics and starjets.

[@yobee19]

The only comment I agreed with. I think NG, A400, JC are superb. JC the most bargain price, the other two best quality. Somehow I hate the color made by Phoenix and the printing was low resolution in my opinion. So you’re paying a high price but not getting a good quality model
