Daron VS Gemini Jets, Which is Better?

A debate that has lasted for years. Which brand is better? Gemini Jets or Daron?

Throughout this video, I answer 10 different questions that relate to both Gemini Jets and Daron and give points to whichever brand fits the answer to the question.

I made this video to explain the difference between Gemini Jets models and Daron models and to point out their positive and negative qualities. This answers to the questions in this video were my own opinion and you may have had different thoughts and opinions on them and that’s okay!

The purpose of this video was mainly to show that Daron and Gemini Jets can be equally good and great models to collect. I wanted it to also describe the benefits of collecting Daron models. I see a lot of criticism for Daron collectors when there are good and understandable reasons why people prefer Daron over Gemini Jets. I also see criticism at the Daron models (mainly with the landing gear and scale size), I think a lot of people forget that the Daron Realtoy models ARE made to be toys. While collectors consider them as models, the planes are originally made to be a fun airline toy for kids to play with while being made specifically for Airlines to sell as souvenirs. I feel like this is very much overlooked for non-Daron collectors.

Feel free to leave your thoughts on whether you prefer Gemini Jets or Daron in the comments (please keep them respectful)!

As a Gemini jets collector I would rather collect Gemini jets despite the price it may cost more than Daron models but all that money was all worth buying a nice realistic aircraft with scaling and verities to collect

Thanks for making the video. Before I actually started to really like aviation, I bought 50+ at least of Daron models, I would make tiny airports directly on my floor, my dad would help the planes “animation” in the fake takeoff and landings. I would have so much fun. I still have the “models” to this day, just sitting in a storage bin, under my bed. Now I have a model airport with Gemini jets and NG models, and a huge shelf, all full of 1/200 Gemini jet models. One of the reasons I even started to like aviation is because of these models. Every time I go to the toy store I always look to see if they have any new ones. (Just to check). Moral of my long story, you earned a new sub.

1:00 no offense or hard feelings just letting you know there is a typo

2:20 I don't fully agree, my dad bought me a Daron Air France A350 and it broke after being dropped 1 foot off the ground.

As a Daron collector, I have aGemini jet I bought at the dubai world expo a few months ago. It costed around 50 bucks so it was a bit of money. With 50 bucks though I could’ve got like 3 or 4 Daron planes, but only could I get one genimi jet. Although Gemini jets has outstanding realism, I personally have to give it to Daron for being the better option due to its cheap prices and decent realism. Maybe when I am older and not a kid anymore I will start collecting higher end models. But for now, Daron planes are the better option for me.

Edit: WALL STREET JOURNAL USED DARON PLANES??!

2:03 I ordered a Daron aircraft on Amazon and the box came damaged and the aircraft

[TheRealAviationLover]

On gemeni jet boxes it gives you a picture, you can read about the aircraft, and open a hatch to see the plane? How did Daron win??

I Recently bought a few new Gemini jets and I feel like some models their landing gear spins and some don’t which kinda suck

But to be honest it up to y’all opinion On what you like collecting

[cozmotu]

4:05 Gemini jets boxes have a flap what you can open and then you can see the plane and the details of the planes are written on the flap

[Ragatha-aviation-doll]

1:39 this is really true, cuz the front landing gear already bent in 2 days

[JuanGarcia-vbdu]

In my opinion Daron makes a lot of great stuff including Gemini Jets. Among my favorites are the Skymarks models.

I'm mostly a Phoenix/JC Wings Collector

[hi_dx]

As an IF200 collector, I have 1 Gemini model and the wheel fell off,

[super-aviation-boeing]

I started out with about 20-30 daron planes, I got about 5 dragon wings which I still use to this day, but I mostly have GeminiJets

[Ragatha-aviation-doll]

I just got my first gemini jets, and it looked way better than my other darron

[olivial]

The words on your thumbnail are on the wrong side

Great and excellent comparison information for that's Nice scale jets trademarks! Gemeni and Daron Thanks 😎 👍🏼✈️👌🏼 Btw... Im preferred Daron 'cause its more cheapest. Gemini its good too but a lot expensive

[Diegod]

Daron: for a kid
Gemini: Collectible for an adult or someone enthusiastic about aviation

[Ghost--ilif]

I collect Daron because I got a Gemini air Canada 747 and it was kinda disappointing one of the back landing gear was missing and the cockpit window isn’t level it is crooked and to low and the words air Canada on the side are also crooked so now I only buy Daron I will in the future give Gemini a second chance

[XBrebfes]

I still think Gemini is way better because of the moving gear and details
