I dont have either of these, but would like to have some opinions as to which mold is better. I cant afford the earlier corgi's 109 as the prices are way too high, but the newer ones seem reasonable.

any inputs would be appreciated
thanks

There really isn't much of a comparision between the two since they are different versions of the 109 (Corgi is an E and Gemini is an F).. I am very happy with both versions made by Gemini and Corgi even though Corgis mold is getting dated..

How about overall fit/finish? I noticed that since you can display the corgi's 109 engines, there is a slight gap in the nose. I reckon, you cant do the same with the aces version?

I think Gemini Aces is arguably considered the best of the aircraft that they have produced so far (Mustang, Spitfire, and Bf-109) regardless of specific versions.

I think Corgi is way over priced on most of their products and I'd consider them sub standard compared to other brands. The Price of their P-38's and the standard of their P-51s are what comes to mind whenever I think of Corgi. atleast Gemini is value for money in terms of price and quality

Gemini are the only manufacturer that have produced a 1/72nd 109F model, and IMHO this is the best of the bunch so far for quality versus price. Can't wait for the Assi Hahn model!

I like Corgi's newest Galland 109. As Hworth said Corgi's mold is showing it's age,in it's time it was the bomb. The GA's 109 is really good if not superior. I am not crazy about the moving rudder and associated gap though and GA needs to use thicker paint. Corgi paints better I think. I would always choose a GA over Corgi to sum it up.

Agreed, the moving surfaces make it a little toylike IMHO, but still the best out there by far at the present.

Bearing in mind that the Corgi ME109E mould is nearly eight years old the last release of Galland's E model is worth getting IMHO. The Gemini ME109Fs are super models and great value. Get some of the later ones with the normal sized pilots!

Agree. I buy both, and like both...
