Exclamation Model id 18322 Gemini Air France A319 doesn' t exist!

This model in the database does not exist at all, I think there has been a confusion with the only Air France A319 1/400 scale F-GRXN which is actually the one and only AF A319 at this scale!
By the way, F-GRXM is a A319-112 and not -115LR, neither a "DEDICATE", nor a long range one!

Re: Model id 18322 Gemini Air France A319 doesn' t exist!

some weeks before GeminiJets announced their Air France A320 and A319 models (Model Details for Gemini Jets 1:400 Air France A319-115LR - Wings900 ID# 18763), Aviation Center Berlin had three Air France A319/20/21 models as Socatec exclusive models on their page and offered them for more than 30 €, instead of 24.95€ for a standard GJ release. IIRC the Socatec models had other registration than the standard GJ reelases. I don't know if these Socatec models have ever been released and also can't find any hint on the Socatec website. ACB still offers an AF A321 F-GTAN but now for a normal price. Maybe someone else knows more about these three Socatec models.

I will get more news from Socatec in the next 10 days as I live nearby. The A321 was scheduled to be released this month...

Hi nerbz!

Bonjour! It's so rare to meet a French collector in this hobby! Would you please request Socatec models to release Air France Cargo B747-400ERF, B747-400BCF and the upcoming B777-200LRF with Gemini Jets moulds please? I have long been waiting for these models.

Thanks a lot,
Alvin

Bonsoir,

Hi Crairways,

I don' t have very good news for you, the only 1/400 Socatec model to be released will be the Air France A321 at the end of the month or in early october... and then...
nothing scheduled for the moment as they are very focused on 1/200 scale models.

Nevertheless, I won' t give up the fight for us 1/400 collectors!

Philippe
