Gemini Jets, Aer Lingus BAE-146: EI-CSL

As far as BAE-146 castings go, this is personal favorite. The Gemini version first saw circulation twice in 2006. It was used eleven (!) times in 2007, and five times in 2008. It has not been used or seen since then. This particular casting has a reputation as being a chronic tail-sitter which may explain why it's been shelved. 

This Aer Lingus example was the first for 2008. It was sent to market in January, and is one of an estimated 1500 copies. For a closer look at this quad-engined jet, read on...

NG Models, Aer Lingus A321neo: EI-LRA

NG Models has not been shy about using their, or perhaps HYJLwings' A321neo casting. As of February 2025, there have been 63 different A321neos produced. This Aer Lingus example is the first of those 63 however. I own six of these, and each one is nice in its own right.

I'm not a huge fan of most Euro-white liveries, but there's something about this current scheme that is really sharp and refreshing. The mould itself is very modern and looks great in hand. This is a nice product from NG in all aspects. For a closer look, read on.

Aeroclassics, Aer Lingus A320-200: EI-CVA

The Aeroclassics A320 mould is perhaps one of the most widely produced, and longest running castings still in production today. With well over 250 known runs, (and counting) you can bet that just about any regular 1/400 scale collector has crossed paths with at least one example. Since 2009, this tooling has been the canvas for dozens of classic, and modern representations, and this Aer Lingus A320, registered EI-CVA is proof of the endurance of the mould. Aer Lingus updated it's livery in 2019 and Aeroclassics jumped on the opportunity to get a modern A320 to market, for a closer look, read on.
