In fact it’d be nice if Gemini released a standard livery version of the model, but as this is Gemini they won’t.

The detail of printing is exquisite including tiny text elements like the city name, Boeing 747-400 titles and ‘cut here in emergency panels’ – great work. The airline also has a new R logo which features an aircraft at its top side.EI-XLD of course features the Tiger scheme too, however this isn’t exactly the same as was on the Transaero Tiger 747 – in fact in detail it’s quite different.
A total of 15,300 sanding discs were used and 800 roles of masking tape. It resembles similar livery owned by the now defunct Transaero. Contact . The base colour of the new Rossiya scheme is an off-white/light grey. The silver wing leading edge should be grey and I note that other Rossiya 747s have the registration on the wingtop. I’ll give Gemini the benefit of the doubt especially seeing as they have added the wingtop black stripe, which this aircraft has and other Rossiya 747s sometimes do not.In terms of the manufacturing of the model, it is near perfect. I have to admit although it was unusual it did not look particularly nice, especially on Western types. Does this one too?

Anyway rather than comparing this mould to the others let’s look at it on its own.Gemini’s old 747 moulds have been around since nearly the start of 1/400 production and they are solid and reliable.
As it is it is a very nice addition to any collection and should see the Phoenix Rossiya 747-400 reduced to scrap. I’m not sure as I can’t find any photos of that part of the wingtop.

Rolling gears are a constant source of issues with models and in my opinion they are nothing but trouble and add very little.
