History of N8802E
I was a bit bummed (excuse the vernacular) about purchasing this unit when I found out less than 2 mos later GJ came out with a Gold Crown Delta, the 880 livery I wanted, until I read James's review about this tail number burning @ Benito Juarez. I started investigating and found out that this aircraft set a speed record between SAN and MIA. I also found out that 880 is it's speed (880' per second). So why not buy the Gold Crown? Because I'm trying to cut back on my model airplane addiction! I love these 880's and remember seeing them lined up @ the Delta hanger southeast corner of MIA as a kid in the mid 60's.

Gemini Jets 200 Delta Airlines Convair CV-880 (22-2) Widget Reg N8802E (cn 22-00-7)
GJ 200 has stepped into the CV 880 mould with this model.

It is a beauty and with 65 examples manufactured this is an opportunity for collectors and model makers.

The mould is near perfect.

Among other details the fuselage has warning lights on top and bottom of the model. The wings have warning lights at the end of the wings and the landing lights are also very visible.

The aircraft was delivered to Delta Feb. 10, 1960 and flew with them til it was sold to Boeing in 1973. It was later registered with Groth Air Service. The aircraft burned May, 1983


This aircraft features the Widget livery and its colors are perfectly delivered in this reproduction.

Nose shape, cockpit shape and cockpit windows are spot on. The passenger doors and windows are clearly marked. The model has scaled landing gear with rolling rubber tiers. The nose gear cover has the fleet number on it as does the tail.

I love having this piece of Delta history in my 200 scale collection which has more than 75 models so far.
