YIKES! Gemini 200 Southwest Airlines 737 MAX-8 "Canyon Blue" [N872CB] Model Review

[@AlaskaAirPassenger]

Recently just got mine. The tail tips on its own, the main gear sags down when I put the model down, and the nose gear falls out quite easily

Thanks! Also I like your profile picture, I love split scimitars

[@koofer1269]

Yeah that is a tilted door. Not bad of a model when looked at far away! Also, the slightly-off colors almost make it look weathered.

[@Edv077]

I just ordered this model hopefully it doesn’t come out as bad.

[@rpgiv3175]

Good luck!

Hi there, I was just wondering if it came out this bad or if it was better. Please respond if you can!

@@cell_cycle_stop_motion Unfortunately it did lol so I returned it got a full refund and just got the Ng version

@@cell_cycle_stop_motion if you wondering what happened the landing gear wheels kept sliding and falling off the axel I almost lost them

[@cell_cycle_stop_motion]

@@Edv077 Oh no.

Which display stand would you recommend for this models ?

[@rpgiv3175]

The chrome or simulated wood display stands from Gemini Jets. The simulated wood stand is by far the more sturdy and reliable option

[@TangoSierra888]

Just purchased one of these, & the quality is very MEH. The landing gear won’t stay attached, keep falling out. When displayed on a flat surface, the tail drops & the nose tips up like it’s tail-heavy. The stand that comes with it is this 3-leg tripod-style thing that can’t support the weight of the model. The stand just collapses underneath, & is completely unusable. For anyone interested in buying one of these, I do not recommend. Extremely disappointing.

[@rpgiv3175]

You pretty much summarized what I said. Everything you pointed out is a common issue with this model across the board. I'm upset about it too.

[@TangoSierra888]

@@rpgiv3175 It really sucks because I previously bought an Air Force C-17 model from Gemini, & it’s beautiful. Superior quality, highly detailed, & solidly built, so I was looking forward to this one. I work for Southwest, & was trying to collect each paint scheme. But after this, I don’t think I’ll be purchasing from them again. I got the canyon blue & the old-school golden mustard models at the same time, & they’re BOTH awful.
